Starfield gamers have begun pirating a popular upscale mod for the game after the developer placed it behind a paywall. The mod, as its name implies

God forbid you pay an individual for writing the code. Turns out y’all just like freeloading and it has nothing to do with publishers.

I’d agree with you if this was the full game but it’s a mod. I think it’s ridiculous to ask for money for a mod with a couple of exceptions:

  • You took a commission from someone who wanted something specific
  • you are making a whole new game like Skyblivion
  • it is going to be packaged up and resold by someone else like Bethesda selling a new version of skyrim

That’s a really long way to say you want free labor. That work is time. They developed those expertise. If you want it free, go ahead and do it yourself or hope some one will volunteer their time. It’s $5 for fucks sake and most of the software will be pirated anyways.

Getting pissed or calling it 'just a mod ’ is irrelevant.

I’m not asking for free labor, it’s a mod, by definition I don’t need it. It’s a modification of a game. If I’m going to give anyone money it’ll be the creators of the game itself, they deserve my money. Not the person hacking the game a bit. If they want to, awesome, I’ll clone it and add the mod, but if they want to charge, well, I’ve never seen a mod I needed so badly that I’d pay for it.

Then don’t use it. Pretty simple. No need to bitch about a dev who believes it has value and coded it for you. Seems to me pretty much everyone is butthurt about having that decision to decide to pay for a third party optional enhancement if it’s valuable .

Only person butthurt is the fucking dev trying to profit off Starfield dev work and DLSS3 dev work done by other people in a community that fucking hates that shit.

Stay mad bro bro.

This, you fuckin nailed it.

“Fee for thee but not for me”

“I will freely profit and give nothing back”

Personally I’m just not gonna use the dudes shit, even if pirating it or getting another copy is easy. Dude tries to profit off others people work and wants to get butt hurt when other people do the same.

Oh but the mod creator gets to freely profit off someone else’s game and someone else’s algorithms/techniques.

Cry me a river, you’re either with the rest of the community in enjoying modifying the things we own and sharing those changes with each other or you aren’t. You want paid material, go make your own shit but don’t try to undercut and slime your way into our community. We like doing the things we do the way we do it.

Lololol so because some people volunteer their time everyone should perpetually.

If you don’t want to pay go volunteer your own personal time instead of making excuses how mod devs shouldn’t have the option to monitize where contractually available. But your won’t because it requires years of developing skills and time to implement and that’s a lot harder than bitching on the Internet about how some guy had the audacity to ask for pay.

The entitlement is hilarious.

No, it means what I said. Don’t expect payment because you tried to sell paint jobs to a group of painters that already freely work for each other for love of the craft.

Nobody is surprised or really that hurt that some modder got cucked out of stolen profit. It wasn’t that much work if it was fucking released within days of the EARLY ACCESS dropping so don’t even try to argue they deserve compensation for modifying someone else’s work.

Seethe, we’ll continue doing the things we do as a community and y’all can keep bitching lmao (go ahead argue I’m the one bitching about this dude getting his mod released for free to a community of people already doing this since the beginning)

Go pay for more dlc or something shill.

Cucked 🤣👌👍. Definitely a guy who understands software licencing and has some professional understanding of dll redistribution and software licencing.

What does my usage of the term “cucked” have to do with understanding that modder did minimal work using someone else’s paid product and a free to use nvidia component and tried to monetize off of it.

Good job dodging the fucking argument and going for a personal attack against my abilities.

I don’t need to insult you, you do it all by yourself and everyone else can see.

Link? This post is literally talking about one that’s pirated from PureDark, and I do mean dlss+fg, not just dlss since that was apparently very easy to implement with how Beth implemented FSR, which Puredark did release day1 for free on nexusmods.
