According to feedback from the player community, the well-known module platform NexusMods (N.com) has recently begun to delete some of the more exposed Mods of "Stellar Blade", which has caused widespread controversy.This move is in sharp contrast to the open attitude of game developer Shift Up and producer Kim Hyung-tae, which makes players question whether there is a "double standard" in N.com.

Since the PC version of "Sword Star" was launched on Steam on June 12, a large number of creations have emerged in the Mod community, of which about 41% are classified as "welfare MOD" by foreign media, including modifications such as clothing transparency.

However, N.com has recently begun to remove some "Sword Star" welfare mods, and the specific deletion standards have not been made public.This move is in a strong contrast with the attitude of producer Kim Hyung Tae. He previously clearly expressed his support for Mod freedom in an interview, saying that "the game itself is already 17+ ratings, no additional restrictions are required", and even joked that "I want to compete with the public for whose Mod is better."

Community users pointed out that N.com is more tolerant of welfare mods for games such as "Bad Gate 3" and "The Elder Scrolls", and the review of "Sword Star" is questioned for the existence of selective law enforcement.Previously, N.com caused controversy over deleting "Starry Sky's "cancel pronoun option Mod", and the platform explained that the move was to "maintain diversity and inclusion."

However, some players believe that the review standards of N.com are not consistent, such as similar mods in "The Witcher 3" and "Cyberpunk 2077" are still normal.Some users speculated that the removal of the shelves may involve copyright issues, or because the Mod of "Sword Star" involves more explicit model modifications, touching the "red line" of the platform.
