My argument is the patch itself is copyrighted work. It's essentially a mod and in many cases its legal to make and distribute patches. If I make a Skyrim mod with unique IP inside it, I can freely distribute it as I see fit as long as I don't include any Bethesda property as part of the distribution. Bethesda cannot confiscate and distribute it as a DLC though.
Yeah I'm grasping at straws for curiosity sake, I know there's no chance in Yell a judge would even attempt to look at it fairly.
Interesting video, but I don’t think it’s directly relavent to the situation. A more comparable example would be if Nintendo stole the code from the multiplayer BotW mod and incorporated it in an update/sequel. Similar to when they sold us pirated ROMs of their old games instead of just dumping them themselves lmao:

Oh that's an interesting argument. Yeah, the likelihood that a judge would ever consider it correlates with how many dollars have greased his palms.
Mods arent legal in the first place.

Moon channel has a great breakdown on the legal caselaw of mods in and around the gaming space.
