It's made by Jmenaru, but it hidden behind a patreon paywall

Yeah not cool at all. I am highly against modders "selling" their mods like that. If they want to make money, then they need to make their own games. Locking a mod behind a patreon is kinda sketch.

Asking for donations for their work, cool. But locking them behind paywalls? nah.

I agree mods only available by pay pigs are not worthy and we wonder why we have stolen mods and modern day pirates, I'll not pay for any mods.

I can understand having a delayed free release for maybe a few months, it does take work to make assets from scratch after all, but yeah. Having mods locked behind a paywall for nearly four years is insane.

I'm on the other side. I'm all for modders being able to sell what they make. And if someone doesn't like it, there's nothing stopping them from creating a competing mod for free if that's what they want to do.

There's a huge difference between "selling" and "accepting donations"

And only one of those is *legal*.

They cannot legally sell their fallout stuff. It's not a grey area. they can accept donations - that's why Nexus asserts what it does - they are not held responsible for the money going through their click, because they are not charging for the mods.

By US law, specifically Micro Star v. FormGen Inc.,[en.wikipedia.org] modding is illegal unless a rights holder explicitly allows it. Doesn't mean I can't be for a change in law.

Bethesda's policies say otherwise, but okay.

Yep totally okay with mods that do this. I support some bannerlord mods that do delayed releases for non-patreon. THAT is acceptable. But to explicitly lock mods behind a paywall is kinda dirty imo. Glad I'm not the only one to think so.
