I played around with Fallout and New Vegas enough to know that I could use JSGME just as well as their own mod editors. So they weren't editing game code itself so far as I know. If they did, the game company would land on them with lawsuits like a ton of bricks.
All EULAs contain doom language about decompiling, modifying, deconstructing or making derivatives of copyrighted code. Code injectors do just that and could make some people we like very poor.
Only with the express written consent of Ubi would I even consider code injection. I know it's been done before with other games. High risk is still there and it's not justifiable risk. If we want game companies to continue to make moddable games, we need not to step on them. It would be childs' play to make a configuration file validator that would make it impossible to add a semicolon to a single configuration file. If they feel that modders are violating their rights and property they will do exactly that.
Makes you wonder if the "open source" WINE team is getting payoffs from nVidia to keep them from supporting AMD cards. Even the open source nVidia driver works pretty well.
