Blizzard has told Diablo 4 players to stop using game-modifying software or risk their account suffering a permanent ban.

In a message posted to the Blizzard forums, Diablo community chief Adam Fletcher made clear the developer’s position on unauthorised modifications, many of which it said are used to cheat. Fletcher even called out one piece of software, called TurboHUD4, which has proved a popular option among the community, especially hardcore players pushing against the outer edges of Diablo 4’s endgame.

Why not introduce an offline mod mode then where there isn't achievements and stuff in exchange for letting people play around.

You can’t monetize that

I was watching the drama around the nerf patch with a little amusement. It's like people don't think that they will slow the game down to start creating space for monetized ways to speed it back up. They knew they couldn't really just release it with the same framework as Diablo Immortal, they need to ease the player base into monetized progression.

Blizzard is a great example of the concept that, when someone shows you who they really are, believe them.

They definitely made two balancings: one for reviewers and early adopters who raved in their assessment of the game and one for squeezing the pennies.
