What do I mean? He sold the same mod as a "Rockstar VR mod" behind his shittly little paywall and then their lawyers had to send him a cease and desist for that. And he whined like a little baby then too. He didn't learn his lesson then and he hasn't learned his lesson now because this is a cash grab, not an attempt to break into the industry or anything traditionally respected modders aim for.

Look, just because you're too retarded to understand he broke laws, doesn't mean he didn't break laws.

You don't own a game. You own a license to use the game. You don't own the code or the images or the files. End of story. You don't get to use those files and images to make something else and sell it. The mod wouldn't work without the game - there'd be nothing to display in VR. When you mod you are directly using the work produced by others and adding in top of that. Modding exists because companies allow it. Part of that allowance is not being a dick, which this modder 100% was. They didn't even tell him to take it down, just make donations optional and he threw a hissy fit an refused.

Yeah, there's plenty of nuance. Nuance showing that the modder is a jackass. Should I remind you this modder did THE EXACT SAME thing with Rockstar as well already.

This guy is just a tool trying to make as much money as he can before moving to another game and doing the same, rinse and repeat. He's a scammer and a grifter.

Fuck him.

That looks like a pile of hot dogs....

I know it has to do with copyright issues and having to defend them. If someone else is selling "your product", it enters a legal area most companies aren't comfortable with. This is why in the past some very successful mods have been given licenses from the company themselves that allow the mod team to operate as a sort of "independent contractor".

That article you mention was the main line of thinking behind my comment. THC alone is different than THC + CBD and if the whole point is to have a number like alcohol, then you should list both. I've even seen people advocate for the specific terpene amounts as well, but I don't know if there's science supporting those having distinct effects(not doubting - just not wanting to make a claim I can't back)

With no mention of CBD, I wouldn't pay much attention to this. I'm not trying to argue the "entourage effect". Rather both chemicals are doing something so if you're only measuring one you're not getting the full picture.

True, but the ones who don't sell tend to exist for longer. The ones that do sell ALWAYS go down.

Yup. And then people point to those mods as proof you can charge for your mod and act Pikachu surprised when someone actually does something about it and your mod gets taken down.

That doesn't account for safety of other car. That's the safety of people IN the car and pedestrians. And again, you're doing things like put a tesla 3 in the "small car" category. Size? Sure. By weight? Hell no. You're not properly accounting for those factors.

Force = Mass X Acceleration. A larger vehicle will always exert more force. Plow a Tesla 3 into a Civic and see who lives. It's literally why buses don't have seatbelts. The bus will always tank whatever hits it. All you're doing is building tanks and acting like that's somehow a safety improvement.

It's not "EV vehicles are safer" like you're trying to paint it. It's "heavier vehicles are harder to damage". This isn't an EV issue. It's basic physics that you're trying to spin into pro-EV propaganda. By the same logic you should buy a F650.

Problem was he sold it. Can't profit off a mod because it's technically profiting off someone else's work. Not defending it, but it's well known in the modding scene that you don't do exactly that or this predicably happens.

Basic rules are simple: don't announce you're working on it, just release it. Can't remove the files from the Internet once they're there. If you announce too early, you give them time to shut it down before release.

And never, EVER, try to profit from it. You run into all kinds of issues, even just using the games name.

This isn't legal advice so much as "if you want to mod and actually have it see the light of day, follow these guidelines or you're pretty much guaranteed to get screwed".

"I'm more concerned about someone's language usage than actual issues". That's you, crying like a baby over a word. You sound like a retard.
