You’re “allowed” to, yeah, but it turns out there are a lot of things that you’re “allowed” to do that are kinda shitty that you shouldn’t do.

Wakanda does not exist and is a completely fictional country, so there is no history to be concerned about here, right? I do not get this.

“Merchandize,” my dude.

You want to tell people how to pronounce someones name correctly when you do this?  “Absolutely anything associated with Pokémon is inevitably subject to similar efforts from those looking to make a tidy profit on limited edition merchandize.”

I am modder to. And I think adding “money” to the equation change things so much, you are not modder anymore. You become something else, being that something a game developer, tool developer, whatever, but not modder.

I have no problem with him wanting to monetize his work on other platforms. Skins, Roblox, etc - the culture is there. But I do have a problem with him pulling shit like this. DRM on a mod? GTFOOH, it’s just asking for trouble.

Context is important. I’m simply providing the context for this debate. Comparing mods to voting rights is pretty silly, btw. You really need to stop with the analogies to rights, labor, etc. Nobody is forcing modders to release their work for free. This isn’t about labor exploitation whatsoever so you need to stop…

I agree that he can charge for his work regardless of its effort (and this one is low effort, it’s just an adapter pattern to relay FSR calls to the DLSS API, with a small config UI to tweak DLSS-side params), and people are of course allowed to feel like his work isn’t worth what he’s charging too.

That analogy falls flat when you consider the history of modding. For decades, mods have been a way for fans to expand or enhance the games they love. It’s been (and remains) a hobby for 99.9% of modders. They do it for fun, not because they want to make money.

Modding has a long tradition of being free. Mainly because it’s typically derivative work that can be legally distributed only with the permission of the owners of the actual game. Because of this, modders who try to charge for their work tend to get huge blowback (and, in some cases get themselves a nice cease and…

I mean, this was going to happen at some point, not to be a dick but I wish it would’ve happened earlier. PS4 and the X1 are potatoes by today’s standards, all these great new games coming out are certainly playable, at a certain standard. I get a lot of people are okay with the performance and what their consoles can…

ok i’m only just now pouring through the comments here and while i always appreciate some thoughtful discussion around my writing and / or the topic, we gotta chill with the threats of violence. like, do i believe that some people should get punched in the face? absolutely, the dude who did this to justfoxii’s car…

No need to bind a key for “Force Run”. Just click and hold the left mouse button down and you’ll move in whatever direction the cursor is, continually. To attack just hold shift and you’ll stop moving and start attacking.

I didn’t mind it, I got to Act IV pretty quickly with my Necro naturally, I believe I was lvl 43. I get it, they made a big beautiful open-world full of stuff to see and do, and appreciate, as soon as most people get the mount they’re blazing right by everything that isn’t their objective, at least in Act I-III people…

Is it still considered piracy if you already pre-ordered the game and just want to play it sooner on superior hardware?

The 1 Best Reason We Haven’t Finished An Article

I always thought that it was because it was unfinished - that the “core” of each reaper looked distinctly like a different species, and that the general reaper look was the exterior hull and such, which we just didn’t see because this human reaper was early in its creation.

Disagree. Better skills, better movement, better map layouts, better side missions. The narrative is a huge downgrade and I wish there was at least one more hub area. But Prague was really well designed.

Didn’t HR get a director’s cut with revamped bosses?

Do streaming services really have “competitors”? Each one has specific unique content licenses and no one else has the same thing licensed.
