So I was playing a game where new updates comes in the form of DLCs, and there's like a million of them, each of them is about half the price as the base game itself. They add up to hundreds of dollars very quickly.
After discovering content in-game that are supposedly from a DLC I don't own, I went into the game files and found that all of the content is there in the base game, but often locked behind a have "have_dlc" check. So I came up with a python script that replaces all of these "has_dlc = yes" checks with "always = yes", and unlocked everything. My world has opened up.
The devs most likely know about this and how easy it is to bypass, but still, I'm quite proud of what I have done. It's definitely in breach of ToS though. I wish more games are like this.
