I'd agree with you if this was the full game but it's a mod. I think it's ridiculous to ask for money for a mod with a couple of exceptions:
That's a really long way to say you want free labor. That work is time. They developed those expertise. If you want it free, go ahead and do it yourself or hope some one will volunteer their time. It's $5 for fucks sake and most of the software will be pirated anyways.
Getting pissed or calling it 'just a mod ' is irrelevant.
I'm not asking for free labor, it's a mod, by definition I don't need it. It's a modification of a game. If I'm going to give anyone money it'll be the creators of the game itself, they deserve my money. Not the person hacking the game a bit. If they want to, awesome, I'll clone it and add the mod, but if they want to charge, well, I've never seen a mod I needed so badly that I'd pay for it.
This, you fuckin nailed it.
“Fee for thee but not for me”
“I will freely profit and give nothing back”
Personally I’m just not gonna use the dudes shit, even if pirating it or getting another copy is easy. Dude tries to profit off others people work and wants to get butt hurt when other people do the same.
Then don't use it. Pretty simple. No need to bitch about a dev who believes it has value and coded it for you. Seems to me pretty much everyone is butthurt about having that decision to decide to pay for a third party optional enhancement if it's valuable .
Only person butthurt is the fucking dev trying to profit off Starfield dev work and DLSS3 dev work done by other people in a community that fucking hates that shit.
Stay mad bro bro.
Lol have you seen the entitlement in this thread 🤣 butthurt 🤣🤣🤣
