Yeah, people have hacked together all sorts of mod loaders for games, even on consoles from notorious companies like the Switch! See the botw modding community.

The only instance I can think of where the dev brought out the lawyers for such an act is Grand Theft Auto V, which is a somewhat understandable extreme case. I can't even imagine an indie dev doing it, for so many reasons.
- trealira 3y agoYeah, it's amazing what people have done with games whose source code they don't have. I may look into reverse engineering certain aspects. I can already spot certain algorithmic inefficiencies just from the disassembly (e.g. unnecessarily using strings instead of item IDs), but those probably aren't the main bottlenecks.
