Starfield players pirate the DLSS mod after the developer locks it behind paywall
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
You're viewing a single thread.
God forbid you pay an individual for writing the code. Turns out y'all just like freeloading and it has nothing to do with publishers.
I'd agree with you if this was the full game but it's a mod. I think it's ridiculous to ask for money for a mod with a couple of exceptions:
- You took a commission from someone who wanted something specific
- you are making a whole new game like Skyblivion
- it is going to be packaged up and resold by someone else like Bethesda selling a new version of skyrim
That's a really long way to say you want free labor. That work is time. They developed those expertise. If you want it free, go ahead and do it yourself or hope some one will volunteer their time. It's $5 for fucks sake and most of the software will be pirated anyways.
Getting pissed or calling it 'just a mod ' is irrelevant.
I'm not asking for free labor, it's a mod, by definition I don't need it. It's a modification of a game. If I'm going to give anyone money it'll be the creators of the game itself, they deserve my money. Not the person hacking the game a bit. If they want to, awesome, I'll clone it and add the mod, but if they want to charge, well, I've never seen a mod I needed so badly that I'd pay for it.
This, you fuckin nailed it.
“Fee for thee but not for me”
“I will freely profit and give nothing back”
Personally I’m just not gonna use the dudes shit, even if pirating it or getting another copy is easy. Dude tries to profit off others people work and wants to get butt hurt when other people do the same.
Then don't use it. Pretty simple. No need to bitch about a dev who believes it has value and coded it for you. Seems to me pretty much everyone is butthurt about having that decision to decide to pay for a third party optional enhancement if it's valuable .
Only person butthurt is the fucking dev trying to profit off Starfield dev work and DLSS3 dev work done by other people in a community that fucking hates that shit.
Stay mad bro bro.
Lol have you seen the entitlement in this thread 🤣 butthurt 🤣🤣🤣
Oh but the mod creator gets to freely profit off someone else’s game and someone else’s algorithms/techniques.
Cry me a river, you’re either with the rest of the community in enjoying modifying the things we own and sharing those changes with each other or you aren’t. You want paid material, go make your own shit but don’t try to undercut and slime your way into our community. We like doing the things we do the way we do it.
capitalism is for pigs
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.
If it's so easy I wonder why no one else does it for free?
THEY FUCKING DO LOLOLOLOLLOLLLLOLLL
I’m dead I literally cannot
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.
👌👍🤣
