Money in modding are not important for me, if they was i would have opened a patreon and never ever invested my time (TONS OF HOURS in the latest 2-3 years) every weekend working on tracks to update them, 1000% for free.Again a few valid points but bringing money into the equation is a whole different subject.
I dont see why people get so fixated on money.
Also I think its somewhat hypocritical in that when your config or w.e was copied you went one step further than encryption and decided to stop publicly releasing altogether. Thats a defeatist attitude.
I have a clear policy in regards to my mods.
Seems fair to me.
- If its a straight convert from another game with no improvements - public release for free unencrypted
- If its a model I paid for - Patreon exclusive
- If its a mod I spent a **** load of time improving and adding bits - Patreon Encrypted.
If i would have focused on money i would have opened a patreon and asked the subscriber to tell me which track they want to see updated.
I stopped releasing stuff not for money or else, just becase i don't have time and interest to fight with stressed modders who discharge their real life frustration on a person who, for free, try to improve their stuff helping them and being accused to stole and make money via sharedmods. As said i keep doing with trusted people like @pugsang, @racinjoe013 which are the most common recurrent people which i work with in the latest period.
As said i was not talkin about you, but you are free to do whatever you want but again: If you don't do onboards camera as they should i want to be able to edit them without being forced to ask you (some modders even not respond on request even for pay mods).
