Since many customers seem to think it's "OK" to use cheats/mods or hacks in many of the Dark Souls titles we wanted to post this article to clear up any confusion:

DO NOT USE ANY CHEATS, HACKS, OR MODS with any Dark Souls titles (and if you choose to, do so at your own risk, please know that the use of them WILL cause your account/profile to be restricted or banned).

The End User License Agreement (EULA) that all players must agree to follow before even being allowed to press "Start" to start a new game clearly states that using such things will lead to restrictions/bans (regardless if they were used in Offline/Online mode).
