If you think consumer protection laws apply here, prove it.

A statement saying “we support our fans and will not profit from their hard work” would have been great PR though. It should be a PR problem that they haven’t. Unfortunately we know how gamers are with their favorite corporations are so they’ll be fine. It is still a disgusting act and maybe there’s still time for…

Ok so you flipped back again. No, there is no legal requirement of support by mod developers, no matter how hard you don’t want to believe it. Consumer protection laws do not apply here. If you think otherwise, prove it.

What problem? You said people who make mods will be forced to support them. I explained and educated to you that it isn’t a problem, because no one is going to be forced to support anything. I guess explaining to you that your hypothetical problem is made-up and not based in reality is dismissing it.

Now you’re just trolling me. Did you just learn the word apathy? Or just trying to save face?

Just stop typing. You’re not even making a coherent point any more.

I considered it just now, and I came up with $5000. Still not worth it. 10,000 people? Still not worth it.

There is a disclaimer by steam, as they are the ones doing the sale . Go check, it’s there. If the modder includes one, that’s fine too,.

Modders think they can’t make money because of people repeating poor legal advice all over the internet. It’s never been the case that they couldn’t make money, but they certainly can’t resell assets included with the game. Original texture files, maps/scripts in the game’s propriety format, a giant “.mod” file in the…

I can’t argue with your conclusion but I don’t see that Valve and B gave the creators anything they didn’t already have. More of a cash grab than anything else, and unfairly profiting off of modder’s work (a free selling point is fair, adding a surcharge is not). Bethesda should have refused the money or given it to…

“Bethesda who created the game, and therefore anything created using the games tools technically belongs to them.”

Perhaps that’s true in many places, but in the USA, whatever guarantees are given by common law are normally disclaimed anyway (e.g., no warantee of merchantibility, fitness for a particular purpose, etc.). Pretty much the only guarantee you get in the US is that it shouldn’t kill you if you follow the instructions. I…

Why would they have an obligation to provide support? They offer the product, the consumer can buy it. If it works, they can keep it. If it doesn’t, or they don’t like it, they can get a refund. Any support a modder offered would be either altrustic, from a sense of personal responsibility, or an appeal to good will…

“If you’re making money off Bethesda’s product, they need some money back for making it in the first place. Valve has the advertising, servers, etc.”

Some professor just cannot give out full credit. It’s an ego thing.

Have you ever eaten a truck stop sandwich? They’re normally made fresh each day and marked right there on the package, and include real bread, meat, and cheese.

Just imo but I think 7-8 would be the minimum to be worthwhile and around 10 the sweet spot.

Lego land has some cool stuff but all-in-all a poor experience. If your 4 year old was like mine, he/she will be unable to appreciate the effort and just go wow cool let me play now

I can’t figure out those program sheets even after reading the thread. Can someone explain how he sets a white or black pixel? (obviously the stud color is irrelevant)

What’s another name for a pepper
