Re: The Death of Gaming
Is it really their creation when they're just adding onto or tweaking someone else work? For example lots of games include free modding software, should people be able to cash in on that? It seems like devs will stop including those or at least charge extra to offset the "loss" of profit.
I hope this ends up a good thing for the industry, I really do. I'm worried it will cause the modding scene to become just glorified DLC that's even lower quality than what we get in most modern games. You know, 20 bucks for packs of skins and stuff. That's not good for the hobby. Sadly lots of people have more money than sense and they will buy that crap. Just look at how they sell all that stuff for MC on consoles when PC players get it free. Up until now stuff like that was free because the creators knew no one would pay for it, on PC.
All that being said I think the main reason I'm against it is because I know that if it catches on we'll see something like 99% of mods with a price tag. That means less people using them and less people experimenting(because they can't be sure it will sell). I know I won't be using any unless I know for sure they're worth it and they've been out a long time so I can be extra sure. I know I'm not alone.
So no, you didn't really misread me I just didn't expand on how I feel. I'm very wary.
