@JohnFromGWN said in Its getting worse... (Mod paywalls):

Rockstar has no obligation, legal, ethical, or moral, to stop whores from selling mods.

Sadly that is the case and its their whole attitude to their community. what i meant in my manifesto is that it's up to Rockstar if they finally dredge up some money to buy a local fck to do something about their deteriorating community and sub-communities. About the modders breaking their game tehn bitching about how Rockstar makes a shit game, yes, they are also to blame for Rockstar's indifference to the community's outrage (and my own outrage to the idiots' outrage....seriously it only takes a couple hours that they spend gaming to learn how to do shit for themself)

About Piracy, I know this website and their mods lose a couple screws when they hear piracy but I find it incredibly based. If I'm not spending 10 dollars on a game why would I spend 10 dollars on an asset for said game, an absurd proposition.
I 100% agree with you on doing what you do for free when you can. It's the dime a dozen creators who still put out good quality free mods and it's not just a reskin of some old mod or the 1 millionth Nissan GTR.

As for GTA6, all the whiners and haters will still play it, or maybe not since it will be woke sanitized to the point where everything, every element of the game that isn't politically correct has been removed. Minority female gay protagonist, no swearing, no guns, no violence, just god loving law abiding citizens with legitimate jobs.

LOL I don't blame you for that, but I think Rockstar will at least stick to their track record of putting out today's idea of culturally insensitive material or it will reflect the world we live in today with all the "woke moralists" and pretentious naysayers around.

Just here to post recent developments in another game, The Sims 4.

"The Sims team doesn’t pre-screen, endorse or specifically support any particular Mod. You should use Mods with caution and understand there may be risk.

We have a long tradition of supporting creativity in our community.  We do not object to Mod developers continuing to share their amazing content, subject to the following:

Do not promote your Mods in a way that suggests they are endorsed by or affiliated with The Sims, Maxis, or Electronic Arts. This means you cannot use any game logos or trademarks, including versions of the plumbob, or key art designs to promote your Mods. You may state that your Mods are for The Sims 4 and/or for a specific game expansion pack.

Mods must be non-commercial and distributed free-of-charge. Mods cannot be sold, licensed, or rented for a fee, nor can Mods contain features that would support monetary transactions of any type. However, Maxis recognizes that creating Mods takes time and resources. Accordingly, Mod developers may recoup their development costs via passive advertisements and donations as long as:
  
Passive advertisements and requests for donations must be limited to the Mod website or distribution site, and not appear within the Mod itself.
    All users must be able to access the Mods in full for free regardless of whether they donate."

You buy GTA, then you spend fucking $1000+ on mods per year if not more just because some of the only people to create good mods lock them behind a perma-paywall and the only way they are made free is when the creator gets wind that the mod is being leaked to shit. If making mods if your living you need a job, or a promotion. You reserve the right to those things, as well as paywalling mods because Rockstar doesnt crack down on mods unless its harmful to their bullshit (refer to Defective Edition Trilogy ie Liberty City mod, San Andreas mod). This isnt even a matter of legality at this point its just pure capitalism and a matter of ethics. Don't speak to me of how much work it takes to make these mods because I am a developer of many mods including cars. It isn't hard. Don't speak to me of spending money on buying assets for your mod that is your decision and no fault of the person who wants the mod.

I am on board with OP about this whole thing getting grossly out of hand. What, with Razed doxxing people and potentially suing them over some fucking mod? Can you imagine if the gta community reflected the Sims community? People will donate to you if theyre not dicks, but honestly I think the good people in this community is a dime a fucking dozen. Ive spent years scrutinizing this whole shitstorm of a community.

Making a living has to do with your ability to go out, get your resume, walk into a business and try to make fucking use of yourself. Again, donations are fine, early access is fine, perma-paywall is just out of the question (when I refer to early access I mean those devs who paywall for 1 to 2 weeks then release for free).

At the end of the day.... it is all up to Rockstar to do something or else this community is just going to shit more so than it already is....

@Abhi123 Any plans to release this for free? Coz its been 2 years lol and you are the only person who has made something
