Yeah, listed some random hits for you below. I don't personally play either game, but from what I've come across on the subject over the years, publishers seem to be a lot less difficult about it today compared to a few years ago. I recall reading about them denying a ban was due to mod use when they were wrong, being ridiculously vague about what modding was and what wasn't allowed, refusing to fully restore a player's character even after a ban was rescinded, etc. https://www.pcgamer.com/gta-online-players-report-multiple-unfair-bans-following-latest-update/ https://www.pcgamer.com/gta-online-players-report-multiple-u... https://www.reddit.com/r/pcgaming/comments/g139nu/eas_volunteer_mods_are_banning_and_silencing/ https://www.reddit.com/r/pcgaming/comments/g139nu/eas_volunt...

If you leave a program running that you were using to make Michael's face into a school bus, in a perfect world that shouldn't be grounds to ban etc.

  Unfortunately for you, that program is indistinguishable from one that replaces walls with transparent textures.

Yep. https://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/25o2411812k472/asked-answered-the-rockstar-editor-gta-online-updates https://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/25o2411812k47... Banning on single player would be silly. But GTAO is another story. It's designed as a cash farm. You have to grind missions, buy shark cards or use cheats. So as I understand they will ban anyone if they detect it's using mods/cheats. But GTA anti-cheat systems are weak and sessions are P2P or at least were.
