Video Description:


This is why I don’t download game mods. Another backdoor has been found, this time in a popular modular for City Skylines 2 by paradox games. Checkout what happened in this video.

    Yes. Apparently there were enough mods like this, that someone made a list to unsubscribe from them:

    Also, this time it’s the first Cities Skyline, I don’t know of any other games, but it wouldn’t surprise me.

      There were rumours about one for rimworld but I’m not sure if it was real or on steam.
