Diablo 4’s Lilith, Mother of Sanctuary, looks on in anger.

I enjoy cracking video games open like an egg so I can fry, scramble, poach or, uh, omelette their insides. Modding and tapping in console commands are a core part of why I like PC games.Alas,Diablo 4is not to be tinkered with. In a post on the game’s forums, Blizzard’s global community development director Adam Fletcher says that “any game-modifying software” is prohibited and may lead to accounts being permanently banned.“We are committed to keeping the world of Sanctuary a safe and fair place for all players, and our Game Security team constantly monitors for cheats and unauthorized modifications,” saysthe post.How To Level Up Fast In Diablo 4You can’t level up fast with cheats, but this guide will help.Watch on YouTubeThey specifically call outTurboHUD4, a customisable UI mod, as an example of a mod that is prohibited. “Players who install this kind of software will put their accounts at risk for disciplinary action, which can include permanent suspension,” Blizzard say.Diablo 4can be played solo, but it has no dedicated singleplayer mode, meaning players using mods or cheats could potentially have a negative impact on other players. Cheats in multiplayer games are obviously bad.

Blizzard say theywon’t do that again, and they’ll be offering more details of the next patch, 1.1.1, tomorrow.
