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.

it wasn’t a waste of time and effort because he got paid a living wage doing it at least until now though.
