I'm curious what uses you have in mind--anything that's an online competitive (i.e., you compete against other players--doesn't need to be esports sweaty) game I don't think there's a strong case for allowing injected code, since that's an avenue for gaining an unfair advantage and thereby worsening other players' enjoyment, and anything offline I can't see it being worth a company's time and money to prosecute.

Destiny 2 isn't really online competitive for starters.

It definitely has elements though.

Well Nintendo are very litigious they already DMCA'ed a Zelda Breath of the Wild multiplayer mod. (As in it made the single player game multiplayer)

I really wouldn't want them to have more power to hurt their fans.

The solution is to not be a Nintendo fan.

No, seriously. You support their draconic practices by buying their games.

This. Nintendo is one of the least ethical videogame companies out there. Even when they come up with something new and innovative, it's so locked down you're better off waiting to play someone else's copycat of it.

I agree. Competitive games and code injection don’t mix but for those that are not competitive (i.e. minecraft), code injection is important.

I think the problem is that the ruling now establishes that overlays and injected code are a copyright violation. Therefor any overlay or injected code is now illegal unless you have permission from the authors if the game.
