This mod was designed to check for and install updates to mods directly from Github, making changes to existing Workshop subscriptions without the user's knowledge. 'The mod 'Update from Github' was removed shortly after appearing on the Workshop. Blocking users or creating specific restrictions for them violates the Steam Subscriber Agreement and such resulted in the mod being banned. First, it blocked a short list of Steam users from using the mod, but this was later changed to cause what appeared to be buggy gameplay. ''Network Extensions 3', the mod alleged to contain malware, was banned due to discriminating against specific Steam users. 'No keyloggers, viruses, bitcoin mining software, or similar has been found in mods on the Steam Workshop. 'The mods in question, which have been banned, are 'Network Extensions 3' and 'Update from Github'. 'We recently banned a few mods from the Cities: Skylines Workshop and want to clear up some of the misinformation surrounding these mods,' Paradox wrote. In short, the situation is not perhaps as dire as it was feared. The blog, posted via Steam, details the issues it has found with the dodgy mods in question, and thanks fans for being alert to potential issues.
UPDATE 15/2/22: Cities Skylines developer Paradox has issued a statement on the weekend's warnings surrounding several mods.
