don't complain you're not offered the same opportunities
Citation needed for this alleged complaining
Also - don't make me laugh by comparing sucking up to your employer to genuine self improvement.
Like I already said - I do have initiative. Pointless busywork just to kiss ass is not showing initiative. It's showing compliance.
What you call "quiet quitting" IS putting in the work. You even said it yourself - it's doing exactly what is expected of you.
What you call "showing initiative" is allowing yourself to be ruled by the whims of a wannabe master. If they wanted you to do more, they should have put that in the job description. And if there's still work to be done, they should have hired another person. 1 can't do the work of 2.
I have initiative, I just don't waste it on wannabe kings
See? There's that slave mentality again
"Master won't like you unless you work harder!"
I'll simper to no one for "advancement"
I actually thought you were joking until the last sentence
Get off your knees, you slave
You are continuing to perpetuate the misunderstanding that the modder releases a modified game, rather than just a mod.
It doesn't even need to come to that - it is plain as day your legal right to modify files on your computer
You are entirely missing the point, mate. Creating skeletal animations is game dev work. I didn't say they were working for the company!
A modder's work is the mod, not the modified game. And a company releasing someone else's work is not "the exact same" as a modder adding to the game.
Nope. I know that the modders didn’t do the original work, that’s why it’s called modding.
But there is no claim to the original work. They only claim to have made what they made.
And, more importantly, they only release what they made.
This is why I asked you what you think modding is. Because modding is not "releasing a modified game". Modding is releasing a modification to a game. This is a fundamental difference you do not seem to understand.
Most companies don’t support this practice.

[definition of 'support' needed]
Those that literally don't support mods, as in, block the possibility and disavow it publicly, do so because they make the same mistake you do: thinking that modders release modified games.
Yes, you can do whatever you want with files on your hard drive, but you’re still modding someone else’s work.
Yes. So?
That’s all I’m saying. Everyone is griping that the company used the modder’s work without permission, when the modder did the exact same thing: using someone else’s work without permission.
They did not do the exact same thing. If modders "did the exact same thing", that would mean releasing the games with their modifications.
But they don't do that.
They only release their mods. Which can only be enjoyed with an actual copy of the game. Which, I will remind you - the modders do not provide.
I’m not saying modding is morally wrong
You're certainly implying it.
I’m something of a mod enjoyer myself XD
Then you really should understand that modders don't release modified games.
and I agree it’s a dick move to swipe a modder’s work, but I doubt there’s a legal leg to stand on when their work is based on an IP they don’t own.
That really depends on the mod. A mod extending animation capabilities is not based on anyone else's work but their own. This type of work is generally game agnostic, but is tailored to fit the game for that implementation.
The vast majority of modding is actual game development work that has been tailored to extend an existing game.
I do also understand the difference between small modders doing something for fun based on something they love instead of money and a company swiping someone’s work for profit.
You don't demonstrate any understanding of this fact whatsoever.
But it’s right there in the name. Modding. What are you modding? Someone else’s work.
Yes. Modding. Not flipping - which is what you're accusing them of.
I don't trust Biden one bit. Still better than Trump, though.
