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.
If you can’t see how paid mods have already enormously increased toxicity in the modding scene, you’re either blind or ignorant. And people will always make things they love for free. Graffiti will always exist. There’s no reason to pretend art will only exist for the profit motive, or that it is better for it.
Yes and so what, toxicity exists in any community you goof, I don’t know what your point is. That paying for stuff is bad, or asking to be paid for your work is bad, or wanting money is bad.
You lack empathy towards people who make mods, what if it’s their only source of income, what if they spend a lot of time making the mod as good as possible so you will want to pay for it. Jesus Christ you’re some kind of idealist there’s no grayzone everything is the extreme with you
