Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection gets swept up in more controversy as Aspyr may have used uncredited work from modders
19.03.2024 - 12:05 / techradar.com
Aspyr Media may have used a modder's work and not credited the owner for the Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection.
Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection was released last week for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and PC following a surprise announcement and thus far hasn't been received too well. From network stability issues to game crashes to a lack of servers to even play the online game, theClassic Collection has had a rough launch, with the Steam version now featuring an «Overwhelmingly Negative» label.
Although Aspyr has since promised to update its remastered collection, the studio has now landed itself in more controversy after a modder has claimed that their work has been stolen (via GamesRadar) despite previously stating that the game won't be featuring «any code or content that is taken from uncredited sources».
This allegation comes from modder iamashaymin on Steam who said that the mods they made for the original PC version of Star Wars: Battlefront 2 were featured in the PS5 and Switch versions of the collection on release, but that Aspyr «patched them out quickly».
However, the footage was able to be captured before the patch, and the modder has claimed that one of their mods was present on the PS5 version, which reskinned Jedi Aayla Secura with the character Asajj Ventress, who was originally only playable on Xbox.
The most glaring clue was the different attack animations for the character, which was shared on Reddit. When this was brought to Iamashaymin's attention, the modder responded to the post saying, «It should be noted I am not credited on this version or any version of the Classic Collection.»
Iamashaymin has also since shared a <a data-analytics-id=«inline-link» href=«https://twitter.com/iamashaymin/status/1769062737236123838?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1769076110694682715%7Ctwgr%5E76d5bdacac0597bbd529c040440f5d175b688b3b%7Ctwcon%5Es2_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gamesradar.com%2Fstar-wars-battlefront-classic-collection-controversy-grows-as-modder-claims-their-work-was-used-without-credit-and-then-removed-im-beginning-to-feel-insulted%2F» data-url=«https://twitter.com/iamashaymin/status/1769062737236123838?ref_src=» https:>post
