Looks like the Ghostrunner developers also have an issue with paid mods running off their IP.

How is it not fair? Cyberpunk is the platform for their mod just like Windows or PlayStation is the platform for Cyberpunk. Everything we do is built on someone else's work.

    PlayStation is not a platform that you build on top of it's the operating system runs the game it's a totally different concept.

    You don't modify the operating system to make the game you make the game in such a way that the operating system can understand but you create your own code. Modine is literally modifying somebody else's code.

    there's really no difference, a mod doesn't necessarily mean modifying the game's code or assets either, it can be just adding or replacing things with your own code and assets. The game functioning relies just as much on the operating system and the libraries it provides as such a mod does on the game.
