    Although I would like to see the mod maker get some money for his work, he really should’ve just went the donation route. Not surprised it got striked.

    Good. If it’s not official licenced game content it should be free, if it is official game content then put it on a real store as DLC not some random person’s Patreon page.

    I’m not a developer and not knowledgeable about how his tech works, but shouldn’t it be possible to make a free mod that can interface with his proprietary VR software (which he then could license)?

        Just like the Bully Online mod.

        It’s not the fact people are “breaking” the game, it’s the fact people are charging for them to break it.

    No paid mods. (And if you ask me, no paid GAMES either ! But the world isn’t set up for that yet)

      So game devs shouldn’t get paid?

      Fuck big publishers and their stupid decisions, but the actual devs and indies deserve to make a living.

        Generally when you see people advocate for not having to pay for things like that, it’s because they want to do away with currency and the concept that a living is something that needs to be earned rather than something everyone gets as a basic right. Plenty of people make art, including games, without a profit motive, so it’s not unreasonable to think that enough games would be made if everyone had way more free time and games were all made for free.

          Exactly ! My comment was quite unclear, but what I meant is everything should be free ; games included.

        Money should not exist. So, yes, every game should be free.

        But in the mean time, I only pay for indie games.
