The mods for one, absolutely. Also it’s just a much, much smaller developer with much less oversight (even internal) and less to lose if they were caught.

And trying to sell this data for a price that would matter to Riot would make it even more likely to be caught, and maybe land someone in prison. Screenshots are not okay.

The game itself is probably fine. Most things are probably fine. The mods are absolutely more risky. And all of this is more risky than Vanguard.

Part of it is also the high profile. Part of it is the attention and pushback.
