CDPR shuts down Cyberpunk mod that let players have 'sex' with Keanu Reeves
https://www.pcgamer.com/cdpr-shuts-down-cyberpunk-mod-that-let-players-have-sex-with-keanu-reeves/
In a somewhat inevitable outcome, a new Cyberpunk 2077 mod that allowed players to kinda-maybe-halfway have sex with Keanu Reeves has been quickly shut down by CDPR.
Created by one Catmino and hosted on Nexus mods, essentially it allowed players to manually swap character skin textures onto other models, and Johnny Silverhand is one of the skins that can be shuffled around in this way: specifically, onto a sexbot called a joytoy.
(...)
The mod was spotted by Eurogamer earlier today and, shortly after that story's publication, was removed from nexus mods with the following explanation: "Clearing things out with CDPR."
>> Sorry guys, banging Keanu Reeves will still be limited to your dreams.

Massive Fallout: New Vegas mod The Frontier taken offline by its creators
https://www.pcgamer.com/massive-fallout-new-vegas-mod-the-frontier-taken-offline-by-its-creators/
The Frontier is a mod for Fallout: New Vegas released earlier this month after years of work. With a playable area the size of the base game's Mojave Desert, three faction storylines, and driveable vehicles, it was hotly anticipated—so much that when it was released it drew enough visitors to crash the NexusMods website.
You won't find The Frontier on NexusMods right now, however. It's been removed by the modding team, and replaced with the following statement:
"Some deeply concerning news has emerged in the past few hours. We have been recently notified that one of our developers, ZuTheSkunk, had posted animated pedophillic content on their personal artist accounts. The items in question are deeply disturbing to the entire team, and we condemn them in the strongest sense. ZuTheSkunk has since been removed from the Development Team and banned off of our Community Discord. We will be conducting dialogue with members of the development team to hear their thoughts regarding the current situation and help make our decision more informed. We have stopped production and work on the mod to address the current events properly. More measures will be undertaken and a more detailed address will be posted soon."
>> Unless that guy was key in the development of the mod, I don't see why they can't keep with the development after finding a substitute.

This Soulcalibur 6 mod lets you dunk on Geralt as Bernie Sanders
https://www.pcgamer.com/this-soulcalibur-6-mod-lets-you-dunk-on-geralt-as-bernie-sanders/
A Soulcalibur 6 mod lets you become this month's favourite meme, pitting a chair-bound Bernie Sanders against the might of fighters like Geralt and 2B.
It doesn't take much to become a meme these days, huh? Last week, the Vermont congressman took over the internet and overshadowed Inauguration Day celebrations when he… sat in a chair. (...)
Now, DeviantArt's user619 has replaced Soulcalibur 6's male custom character with chair-sitting Bernie Sanders. He doesn't have any animations, instead just wildly throwing his body around, chair 'n' all, with whatever character's weapon you assign him—user619 uses Azwel for all their demos, but I would have loved to see Voldo or Yoshimitsu's batshit crazy moveset on a stationary man in his chair.
