In what way was it good for the community when they removed the mods that you had to pay for? It's not like the developers of the mods will do it for free, and no is stopping you from making a free version of said mods.

    You people live in a fantasy world, how the does one who can't make a game make a game. That's a lot of work, what is the issue with piggybacking from another ones work if it benefits both parties.

    Give me a scenario where it hurts the original developers, a real scenario.

    In what way is it not fair? The game developer has full control over the game and the API it allows modders to use to make mods.

    Is it that you are taking the money from the developers? Because you still need to buy the game, if anything the modding community makes the game more attractive to buy.

    So what is the unfairness in the case of a modder wants to sell his mods?

    You should be, what's the difference between selling modification to other things that people do all the time. Cars, instruments, music, phones, software and 5 million other things.

    They are not selling their work, they are selling their own work, they are not selling the game with the mod, their are selling a mod to the game.

    It's just that gaming companies are dickheads and want to have exclusive rights to having a market around their products.

    Of course you get to complain, why shouldn't you complain if you don't like something and think it's unfair. Wether it's legitimate or not you should complain, then if someone listens or not thats another question.

    You don't have to buy mods, dude there are plenty of mods that are free, but if someone wants to sell it why not. The only thing that will happen is that you will have more quality mods, paid or free. Then there's the question if you have exclusive rights to a mod, I would say no, anyone should be able to copy your mod.

    If someone puts their own free time and effort to make a mod, they should be allowed to sell it. If you want to spend your free time copying that mod, please do.

    You're not entitled to free labor, because you feel like it. It's a game mod, it's not a life necessity, playing games with out mods works as well. You are telling me that people that pay several hundred dollars for a VR headset can't afford to give someone 10-20$ for their work.

    Why would you use that? It's not Foss, has an ugly name and it requires root to run?

    I don't know why I see this shitty thing being recommended by so many, the service is just bad..

    There are others which are better for windows, that are Foss and you can modify them quite easily. I tweeked scoop as an internal company software center, the software repo is managed via git and it was so easy to do that.

    Where do you get that germany has repented for everything bad that they have done?

    I still read news where certain African countries are seeking reparations and damages for the genocides that Nazi Germany committed, but Germany doesn't accept that it was genocide, but according to experts it was genocide.
