I wonder if Japanese companies not liking modding is somehow a cultural thing. I remember littlekuriboh, the guy who does the Yu-Gi-Oh abridged, mentioning that the actual Japanese creators of the show wanted nothing to do with him and his content when he met them at a con. While non-japanese people see editing official content as form of investment and passion (even if it's a joke), the japanese mindset is that you get what you get and messing with it is disrespectful.

Much as I love abridged series and mods, I sometimes feel like there are people too invested in existing franchises that could have made something substantial if they ventured their creativity out of fan works. I’m sort of one of them - I made a lot of TF2 animations back in the day, and past a point realized for all my work I had nothing I could claim to have truly been made “from scratch”.
Not to disparage parody makers, just that I understand the sentiment.
I feel like this is just built to make you mad, if you want to get your "I'm so angry and enjoying it"'s out this morning I guess this is what you read and leave an angry comment about.
If they actually do any steps to prevent modding, I'm more open to getting mad about this, but they are more outlining the effect that mods and piracy has on them, and there are some valid points in there too.
whateves, get angry i suppose
I'm not angry. I just want to know what, "...when mods are released that violate public order or morals without permission" means.
Also "All mods are defined as cheats..." So mods for a single player game is cheating? They didn't think this all the way through.
Seldom have I been more happy to already not like any of a company's products! What a bunch of idiotic antedeluvian moralizing hyperauthoritarian assholes!
Unfortunately they make Monster Hunter so I'm pretty locked in
