The number one rule for lawyers is litigate the person with the best ability to pay.

As the modders and individual users generally have no money and no relevant insurance no legal action will occur unless somehow UBI/Maddox can be held responsible or can be shown to be endorsing or encouraging the mods ... in which case rest assured the NG lawyers will spring into action and hit up UBI/Maddox for more money. Its not worth NGs time to bother with mod creators or individual users, they are small fry.

If you read up what actually happened, NG waited until one week before the global release of Pacific Fighters to threaten an injunction preventing release of the game until the case could be heard by some California Court maybe a year or two down the track. Whilst NG seems to have had minimal legal grounds for their claims rebuffing them probably would have meant a large delay in the release of Pacific Fighters.
