I also tried to run the game today an it sends me to 2K's "ONLINE BEHAVIOR AND CONTENT ENFORCEMENT POLICY" site... apparently i got banned, but i didn't get a warning or an e-mail.
This exact same thing happened to me as well. I can't sign in with my account on 2k's website at all. No warning whatsoever.
Trainer no longer works. Game shuts down immediately upon opening the trainer, and attempting to launch the game using the trainer sends you to 2K's website's terms and conditions page - "ermagerd no cheating in single player!!!111!!!!"
Please don't retire this.
"Please don't retire this"
What would you have us do?
We REALLY appreciate what you do!
The fact that they were able to target Aurora and your content directly is sort of unnerving however.
Will other games and gaming companies be able to replicate what 2K has done? Should we be 'conservative' with trainer use across the board for a time in other games as well?

We ran into this many times over the years. Most companies don't worry about this. The ones who create games most exclusively to try and have multiplayer PVP games are cracking down more and more. Sports games are notorious for it.
Game trainers and being able to use trainers with games isn't going anywhere.
How to address it, there isn't many ways for the end user.. other than write a message to the companies or simply don't buy their software anymore if they refuse to let you run programs or modify things in your own PC at realtime in memory. They take control of your computer and refuse to let you have it back. And you agreed to it.
best,
