Ever since MultiVersus launched, WB Games has taken a stance against modders and their attempts to create new skins and mods for the game. Now the publisher seems to have taken a new step as multiple high-profile MultiVersus players have claimed that the game will no longer  start if a player has mods installed. The players are accusing Warner Bros. of making all existing mods incompatible and attempting to kill the modding community.

A modder for the youtuber Alpharad named Ghost made the first claims on Twitter, saying that no current mods for MultiVersus will work anymore,  although a it was stated that should a workaround be found then it would be posted. The claim was then backed up by a MultiVersus dataminer, who revealed the incompatibility was introduced though the latest patch and claims that Warner Bros. is “destroying the modding community.”

Given that MultiVersus developer Player First Games has has employees such as directory Tony High show support for mods and fan projects from his personal twitter account, the issue likely does come from WB Games themselves. This is not unexpected as Warner Bros. has taken down Twitch streams that feature mods via copyright strikes among other actions. One prolific MultiVersus modder called  junior3DM outright said that the publisher might be “completely against modding,” and warned people of potential account bans.
