You are making an assumption that this Arch bloke is better at physics than Aris and makes cars more realistic...
Having tried some of his physics upgrades i don't think he does.
How you'd know any of this using a controller anyway Goodness only knows.
Regards Iija about £1 per CM donation at least, plus 2-3000 patreons support of at least £1 per month, £2000 plus per month from that.
And you only need look at how much Jimmy Broadbent gets donated per live stream to see most people donate more than £1.
I'd say whatever Iija tells the taxman its more than 20k he's made from an unlicensed game upgrade.
Anyway point still stands, it's not yours or anyones sim to tell people what they can and can't do with it..
Last time you said it was 1 million, now 20 thousand. What happened with the 980k since then?
This shows quite well how much you're thinking before you say something.
Why do you compare Ilja's case to Reiza? There's nothing common in them.
Reiza bought the SMS engine to build and sell a new racing game. The income will be their income, quite simple.
Ilja has made a new launcher for AC (because it was useless) which was published on the official Kunos forum.
He was highly supported (like any other modders), because Kunos' philosophy was to create a game which will be
long living through the continously polishing of the modders community. They knew of everything what he was cooking.
They knew he was doing rain and night, which were IMPOSSIBLE WITH THIS ENGINE. Any moment they could have stopped him. But no,
they decided very wisely let him work because he is a genius, and the game will be so utterly good, it can be sold for many years.
And who is selling it, what do you think?
Don't panic, 505 Games loves Ilja.
I don't know why became it so popular to kick into Ilja lately. Without him maybe we wouldn't be here.
I'm very grateful to anybody for every little thing created for our hobby, I try to create myself to give back something, but this guy is
not doing skins or stupid animation (like I did) or camera sets, he is literally a game changer. Why are we jealous of his success?
