The creator of the Cyberpunk 2077 VR mod CD Projekt recently hit with a DMCA strike has paused his Patreon page and pulled access to all his mods after receiving another strike from a different publisher.
Looks like the Ghostrunner developers also have an issue with paid mods running off their IP.
In a considerably more ideal world than the one we live in, all games, not just mods, would be free and everyone could just donate to developers of games they found worth the money.
It’ll probably take a long time for that world to materialize, since it’d require all corporations and billionaires to disappear forever first.
In the meantime, either make free mods with an option to donate, or make your own games. Personally I think it’s a waste of time and effort to spend so much of your life on mods for AAA games. I could understand if it was just for fun, but this guy seems to treat this way more seriously.

It’d require universal basic income first because game devs would have to work unpaid and may only make some money if they’re lucky. We know from open source software that 99% of people don’t donate shit.

Great idea so now corporations are going to think they can get away with not paying me as well because I should just donate my labour. It’s a nice idea but it doesn’t work unless we have robots to do all the work, and then of course I still wouldn’t have any money in that scenario so the government would have to give me some. And I just know people would start complaining about freeloaders.

I mean, yeah. Maybe not exactly UBI, but my ‘considerably more ideal’ scenario assumes we don’t have to spend most of our lives just to make a living.
