<p>Sony Online Entertainment have announced that any modifications to PlanetSide 2 will result in a ban and loss of your character and all of your items. This includes harmless UI mods, data mods and even programs that tinker with DirectX.</p>
<p>So why is this the case? Sony Online Entertainment wrote on its forum:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>“It is vital that you not run software which modifies the PlanetSide 2 in any way. If you do this, you are indistinguishable from various hacks that work in the same manner”.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>They continued:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>“We cannot make exceptions to this. We do understand there are relatively harmless apps that fall in this category, but if we allowed those they would simply be used as a shield excuse by players trying to cheat&#8230; Do not modify any of these files or attempt to modify them in memory”</em>.</p></blockquote>
<p>Do you think it is right that Sony lock-down their games like this?</p>
