Banned WWE 2K24 Modder Returns with Reinstated Account

Earlier this week, popular WWE 2K24 modder Status found themselves banned from the game, with all their creations removed from the platform. The ban was accompanied by an in-game message citing a violation of the game's End User License Agreement (EULA).

Reinstatement: Backlash Leads to Reversal

Following widespread backlash and the trending hashtag #FreeStatus on social media, WWE 2K24 has reinstated Status's account. This decision came after days of intense community outcry and pressure.

In a statement shared on X (formerly Twitter), Status expressed gratitude for the support and announced the lifting of the ban. They also revealed that WWE Games and themselves had reached a fair agreement regarding the impact of mods on the game.

Collaboration and Understanding

WWE Games also released a statement on Reddit, acknowledging the community's concerns and confirming their discussion with Status. The company emphasized their commitment to addressing stability and performance issues related to mods. As a result, Status's ban has been lifted, and efforts are underway to reintroduce some of their content that meets quality standards.

The Controversy

The original ban notice lacked specific details regarding the modded content that led to the violation of the terms of service. Status's creations included unique characters and scenarios not typically found in WWE 2K24, such as playable match commentators and female wrestlers wrestling against male counterparts.

Status has promised to provide updates on the situation, but as of now, all their mods remain offline. The community eagerly awaits further clarification and the potential return of Status's creations.
