Taking mods down is good in one way

[Tormented]

I know I'm gonna receive some hate for this thread but
I used to download lots of mods for Left 4 Dead 2, community is doing that because they care about their game, high quality mods that completely changes the game & all for free (unless if they changed that too)
Now I tried to download some mods for Tekken 8 from deviantart & almost all of them lead me to patreon, you blame Namco for being greedy, well talk about these modders
Well I know it's pretty cheap, but if I have to subscribe to every ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ modder in pateron... Come on man, 5$ for a mod? I can buy a licensed character fully voiced in a game like DBD
This is not what I call supporting the game
In the end this doesn't mean I don't hate Namco's most recent actions

There are some of Patreon that are free, and available to download. Like this one:

I use it more than any other costume. It's simple and nice looking. Things like mods should never be charged as they are by players for players.

mods from tekkenmods and nexus are free, no one should charge money for mods, since it's namco's game after all.

companies dont hate mods, they hate when others makes money with their own game, the same happened with the community project of SM2 (custom made mw2 multiplayer by the community)

little note: activision didn't sent the cease and desist until the creators of the mod stated in their webpage "we will sell special suscriptions and tiers, those who pay will get a better service" that's when the companies say NAH NAH NAH and sent the lawyers.

That's my main point

I don't really keep tabs on the modding community, but I know that there's been a general movement away from free mods to paid mods in more recent times. Which I suppose is an important distinction if Namco is taking legal action.

The reason L4D2 has survived this long, though, is because of the modding community. Compare that game to their much more recent title, Back for Blood. It's already close to dead because of a lack of mod support.

I doubt what Namco is doing will affect Tekken's longevity to that degree, but it's important to keep in mind.

I still remember SFV fiasco some years ago and charged mods. I know Capcom went berserk over it.

Back in the day when I was making mods, I made them all available for everyone to download. I felt great that my stuff is liked and made me feel useful.

Im against bad mtx implementation.
But honestly i don't really care about tekken 8 mods.
I only have a Reina mute mod(apologies cheez3) and thats it.

All tekken 8 mods are just thirsty mods, there's no cool stage mods as in T7.

However if a mod is quality made, then what's wrong supporting the modder?

yeah she gets annoying after some time

[Powercrank]

charging for mods is basically asking namco to try to stop them. they're creating direct competition for namco by doing so.

don't get me wrong, i still think namco sucks for doing it. i just also think that people who charge for mods suck.

[Pelikan]

In this case it is not mods that are the problem, it is people trying to make money out of it.

The way I see it modding is pure passion to share with the community. You should never ask money for it because as hard as you worked for it, the game is not your property.

If you make quality work, good on you. If you want to get paid, make your own game IMHO.

pretty much the one side is art is becoming more hard to generate professionally and being more time consuming means more the need for payment.

but unless that art is 100% made from scratch and not tied to another IP then people have 0 right to sell it.

they can however sell their designs on other merchandise that they can do instead.
but a mod is still tied to the company who is not part of your business model.

One thing I will say is monetising mods of someone elses IP is a good way for you to ruin it for everyone else...

[Gasss]

dumb

[Gentle Soul]

Its good in one way but wrong in 10 ways. Why even start this stupid argument?

[Skiptro]

they are sending dmca requests to tekkenmods, those are not paid mods.

No it's not, you think that's the reason Namco chopped down the tree?

Lol
