What do you mean, you are going to be not okej with what? That someone made something that they want to sell…

Dude you are exhausting, you live in a fantasy world.

Unlike you people try to find work they enjoy, either you haven’t worked a day in your life, or you are jealous of people having a better job than you.

You can’t even fathom that some people are not employable, there’s 1000s of reasons why some people can’t hold a regular job or find a employer that will employ them. But hey, fuck them right

You don’t own or get to decide what people can sell or not, your talking about some fucking community that is filled with shit as is, and I would bet my life on that you don’t even contribute to said community that you hold so dear. You’re just a leech, prove me wrong.

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

What kind of argument is this, spreading malware is illegal. And how does that reflect on the game studio; none at all. The mod you are proposing is illegal, no you are not allowed to spread malware via mods, what do you want me to say?

For arguments sake spreading malware via mods is legal, does it reflect bad on the game studio? No, not if you are older than 10 dude, if you don’t know the difference between original content and user made content, you will probably have a hard time installing a mod.

If I spread malware via images of La Lakers, does that reflect bad on LA Lakers.

You do realize that cd projekt red are doing a DMCA request, because it’s a logical economical choice for them, and has nothing to do with the quality of work. Because the mod is only enabling people to play with VR. And CD project red has the benefit either A modder gives it out for free, CD project red gets free content, B they can after a while release their own paid version of Cyberpunk with VR (like 50 other game titles).

There’s no legal basis for the DMCA, the guy says he can’t afford a legal battle with a huge company.

You want everyone else to make sacrifices but not you, you just want shit for free. What competition exists in the modding community? No one is stopping you from or anyone else from making a VR mod for cyberpunk for free. Surely it would be more popular than the paid version, but why doesn’t it exist? Because it requires maintenance and active development and knowledge about how VR works, and no one is interested in spending that time making a free VR mod for cyberpunk, you would have to be an autists to feel it’s time worth spending.

How is wanting to get paid and loving the game mutual exclusive. They are more part of the community than 99% of the community, you make it sound like it’s easy, they have invested their own time and skills to make mods that people are willing to pay for.

Stop being so judgemental, you don’t know them or why they are developing mods. Maybe they want to make a living or extra money by working on something they like. You don’t have to buy the mods they develop if you don’t like paying for mods or if it goes against your own principals. They aren’t trying to force you to buy their mods. I myself never play games with mods, because it’s a hassle and doesn’t make my gaming experience any better.

What are you talking about, have you ever heard of after market products. There’s a reason why certain industries design there products to allow third party vendors to sell after market components, it makes them more popular by consumers.

Dude you are just making shit up as you go, what you are saying makes no sense.

I extend functionality of existing software products for B2B as a living, no one would buy their products if they didn’t allow them to be extended.

In what way was it good for the community when they removed the mods that you had to pay for? It’s not like the developers of the mods will do it for free, and no is stopping you from making a free version of said mods.

You people live in a fantasy world, how the does one who can’t make a game make a game. That’s a lot of work, what is the issue with piggybacking from another ones work if it benefits both parties.

Give me a scenario where it hurts the original developers, a real scenario.

Making money of someone else’s work is the whole economy, that’s not an argument. I can understand if it’s taking money from the original developers but is definitely not the case.

In what way is it not fair? The game developer has full control over the game and the API it allows modders to use to make mods.

Is it that you are taking the money from the developers? Because you still need to buy the game, if anything the modding community makes the game more attractive to buy.

So what is the unfairness in the case of a modder wants to sell his mods?

You should be, what’s the difference between selling modification to other things that people do all the time. Cars, instruments, music, phones, software and 5 million other things.

They are not selling their work, they are selling their own work, they are not selling the game with the mod, their are selling a mod to the game.

It’s just that gaming companies are dickheads and want to have exclusive rights to having a market around their products.

Of course you get to complain, why shouldn’t you complain if you don’t like something and think it’s unfair. Wether it’s legitimate or not you should complain, then if someone listens or not thats another question.

You don’t have to buy mods, dude there are plenty of mods that are free, but if someone wants to sell it why not. The only thing that will happen is that you will have more quality mods, paid or free. Then there’s the question if you have exclusive rights to a mod, I would say no, anyone should be able to copy your mod.

If someone puts their own free time and effort to make a mod, they should be allowed to sell it. If you want to spend your free time copying that mod, please do.

You’re not entitled to free labor, because you feel like it. It’s a game mod, it’s not a life necessity, playing games with out mods works as well. You are telling me that people that pay several hundred dollars for a VR headset can’t afford to give someone 10-20$ for their work.
