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

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.

Nexus mods is filled with mods that add newer versions of sampling techniques or any other number of general graphical improvement mods. It’s not that crazy or uncommon to do so for free.

The modding community is about fucking with shit we bought and sharing those changes. Period. Trying to gatekeep that behind a paywall is out of the norm and probably illegal. I can’t see how companies like rockstar would allow people to make money off their games because it’s their fucking product.

This is just capitalism trying to shit where we eat, yet again. We’re not paying for your game modifications.

Dude is just trying to make a living, he’s not some megacorp, what is wrong with you? Didn’t find another dlss+fg mod that wasn’t the pirated one mentioned here?

Curious

On the point about capitalism, yeah I mean if we had socialism and people didn’t have to worry about putting food on the table, I’d bet there’s be a lot more free passion projects released, sadly that’s not the world we live in, and I’m fine with throwing him $5 bucks a month, he’s made many dlss+fg mods for various games.
