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.
Joining in on subscription based monetization is being Cyberpunk? I think that applies more to the anonymous person who released Link’s Awakening DX HD.
Idk the real cyberpunk move would have been putting it up and taking donations which if I understand correctly CD Projekt was going to allow him to still do.
They just didn’t want him straight selling it. Which is pretty fair honestly. He should have just made it up for donations and I bet if he had done that he would have gotten a pretty decent amount of donations all at once because it was getting so much publicity.
How much VR does the mod even give? Like is it just being able to look around in complete 3D or do you also have the ability to manipulate the world with your hands? I have found many options to do the former and they don’t cost a dime, but I have yet to see anyone mod in the capabilities of being able to do more than simply move your head around to look at the game world.
I haven’t even seen any actual game play using the mod.
Just wanted to point out that the bone of contention as far as the dev is concerned isn’t that he made mods, but that he was actively charging money for them/using the name of their product to advertise the mod.

He made a VR mod for the game and they are suing him? Kiss my ass. He is the true cyberpunk.

He’s selling a VR mode for the game.

I don’t know. I don’t have the mod.

Luke Ross and his mods suck.
Probably, but that doesn’t really matter to the discussion of whether it should be allowed
