Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the concept of video game mods, their importance for the gaming industry and selected legal aspects from the point of view of Polish law and End User License Agreements (EULA). The conclusion is that in the current legal state it is the EULAs that determine the legal status of mods by regulating the rights of game developers to mods created by gamers. Mods are a complex phenomenon, which makes their unambiguous legal classification difficult. Because of their popularity and impact on the video game industry, developers seek legal standing to use mods.
