Over the past few weeks, the Alpha Technical Diablo II: Resurrected, the remake of the classic from 2000, has been victim of datamining and mods capable of unlocking much of the content contained within your files, even enabling unavailable characters and activating multiplayer mode through pirated servers.

Mods, which were initially shared among friends, quickly began to spread, until they began to be sold for money. In this point, Ferib Hellsream, Belgian-born programmer of one of the mods, decided to make his project open source, opening it up to the public and causing a large number of hacks of the Alpha.

Presenting himself with a letter from Blizzard, a private investigator hired by Blizzard appeared on the doorstep of one of the modders’ home. to warn you of your actions, as reported by the Belgian programmer for Kotaku.

As a result, two of the most popular mods in the game, D2ROffline and D2RModding were immediately removed from the web.
