If you want to play that whopping Fallout London mod you'll need to downgrade Fallout 4's "next gen" version

I really hate how so many mod developers plaster WE WILL NOT SUPPORT PIRATED. THIS WON'T WORK ON PIRATED. FUCK YOU. all over their mod pages.
Are they deliberately putting in code to detect pirated copies? Are they putting that there because they're sick of idiots installing their mods on a 6 month old release fucking it up and clogging the support forums complaining about it? Do game developers regular prosecute mod developers who don't take steps to not support pirates so they have to do that to cover their asses?
It's just eerie. And it stinks.
By not only supporting but requiring an older game version, this mod is entirely going against that typical weirdness. It will be interesting to see if someone's going to try to put a stop to it or not.
They do that as a legal waiver. Mods typically do not add any code that adds in DRM, or check to make sure the DRM is functioning, except in the case of the game utilizing an online multiplayer function, which could attempt to be a prevention for cheaters.
A few do, and they are universally made by the worst people
