@0xcached @DA_JUBWUBS @gigwhat7 @TotoZazacata1 replacing a one asset (new model with original content) completely fits fair use regardless of rigging. transformative content is in no way unethical. it’s like saying drawing a picture of Mickey Mouse is an unspeakable immoral crime against humanity. You are genuinely a moron

@DA_JUBWUBS @gigwhat7 @Austin12100 @TotoZazacata1 It’s a skin. What redesign? The model and rigging is in tact. It’s a skin. Either way, your arguments (as are you) are really too dumb as the point is moot, since they aren’t charging for it. So what’s your point in coming here and harassing me? Doing it for the love of the game?

In response to community feedback, we're removing the paywall from the warden mod, we priced it in a way we thought would be acceptable, but the community has made its stance clear. We understand your positions, and have acted accordingly. Who bought the mod write to me in dm and I'll refund you money if you want, and we hope that you may donate instead.

@0xcached @DA_JUBWUBS @gigwhat7 @TotoZazacata1 Are you being intentionally obtuse? Stop trying to pretend the mod is a copy paste job. It’s an entire redesign

@DA_JUBWUBS @gigwhat7 @Austin12100 @TotoZazacata1 ngl you sound really dumb, so i'm giving you 1 response.
ethically, taking something that isn't yours and trying to sell it is immoral.
that's it, you don't need a law to tell you that.
but honestly, i think you're too dumb to engage with.

@adil_tf2 @0xcached @TotoZazacata1 @gigwhat7 So we agree the labor has real value, we just disagree on whether the creator or Valve gets to decide when they're paid for it.
On accessibility, there are models that address both. Pay-what-you-want, free lite versions, optional donations.

@Austin12100 @0xcached @TotoZazacata1 @gigwhat7 I understand morally why fair use exists and again - I don’t disagree with idea of a model where someone pays for something they want, but legally fair use exists for a good reason and this is beyond that scope. Morally, mods should be open access for everyone in my opinion.

@LordOLechuga @gigwhat7 I talked about this in other replies if you care to look
Also hey buddy….. let people enjoy things….

@Austin12100 @gigwhat7 You must be lost, it's directly breaking their ToS to charge for a mod. In the meantime, I hope you can break the porn addiction you have and stop follow furry fetish accounts.

@LordOLechuga @gigwhat7 valve would never do this in a million billion trillion years

@Austin12100 @gigwhat7 It's good they bent the knee, otherwise they might've gotten a visit from Valve.

@Violinja002 @TotoZazacata1 @gigwhat7 Warden’s base model was not used in the creation of this mod AFAIK. It’s hard to condense what I’m talking about in a tweet, so when I say “fair use” here, I’m talking about the concept and not the law. I think transformative work is fair and moral.
English

@Austin12100 @TotoZazacata1 @gigwhat7 They do not own the source material ie; wardens base model. And therefore should not demand money for a modification. I would gladly donate $5 if I played warden and used this mod because of the effort but its not right to charge money for it
English

@DuIIahanic @SweetSpotsVFX @gigwhat7 I read all of them. Your reasons were:
It doesn't work on its own (neither do lots of paid products)
It's infinitely copyable (so is all digital media)
It's tradition (not a justification)
"That's how mods work" (circular)
I responded to every one. You didn’t address my points.
English

@Austin12100 @SweetSpotsVFX @gigwhat7 I literally just told you multiple times why it should be free, throughout multiple posts.
You refusing to read is not my problem.
English

@DuIIahanic @SweetSpotsVFX @gigwhat7 I asked you WHY mods should be free. Your answer is "because that's how mods work." That's circular reasoning, you're using the thing I'm questioning as your justification for it.
English

@Austin12100 @SweetSpotsVFX @gigwhat7 Because that's how mods work. They're labors of love for the community, not a product.
If you want money, don't make mods, make your own game.
It simply might not make sense to you because the concept is before your time.

@harrowchassisbp @0xcached @TotoZazacata1 @gigwhat7 the court of public opinion has decreed that you have lost credibility and all further points are now ignored. replying to my post with a counter argument will be subject to dragging in the comments
English

@Austin12100 @0xcached @TotoZazacata1 @gigwhat7 you tweeted about a twitter argument that hundreds of people have seen and only caught one like bro idk what to tell you he def fried you
English

@harrowchassisbp @0xcached @TotoZazacata1 @gigwhat7 He’s just acting pretentious and hurling insults bro 😭. He couldn’t argue back so he claimed I lost credibility
English

@DuIIahanic @SweetSpotsVFX @gigwhat7 Regardless, “doesn’t work on its own” has never been the line between free and paid anywhere else. You’re inventing a rule that only applies to mods.
English

@DuIIahanic @SweetSpotsVFX @gigwhat7 You’ve said “doesn’t work on its own” three times now but never explained why that means it should be free. That’s not an argument, it’s an assumption you’re treating as self-evident. Why does needing another product to function mean the creator doesn’t deserve compensation?
English


@Austin12100 @gigwhat7 And u talk like a retarded redditor. Yeah that makes sense. After the actual leftists get rid of the hicks on the right performative libshits like you will be next 🥹🫶
English

@DuIIahanic @SweetSpotsVFX @gigwhat7 Software, music, movies, ebooks, fonts, digital art are all infinitely copyable, all sold for money. "You can copy it so it should be free" would collapse the entire digital economy if you actually applied it consistently.
You're not paying for the bits. You're paying for effort
English

@Austin12100 @SweetSpotsVFX @gigwhat7 Phone cases are made with real life materials, finite.
Don't be a retard.
You can copy/paste mods as much as you want infinitely, there's a massive difference there.
