!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.


2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.


I should not need to explain this one.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.


Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

I miss the days of never even thinking of paying for a mod, when making a mod was simply for fun so you could share with others.

Sad sad world we live in now a days where even being asked to mod for free is seen as wrong, because any time not spent on a paying job means you very well could be going hungry.

If anyone else just wanted this article to get to the fucking point already, here is the original nexus post:

This is actually amazing, I don't understand what the other comments on this Lemmy post are about/if they even read this post on Nexus.

To summarize:

  • no incomplete free versions of paid mods
  • no patches for paid mods on a site for free mods
  • no modpacks that require paid mods
  • only limited advertising of paid mods

This is extremely levelheaded. I think other's might just read this headline and think they are introducing paid mods, but they don't!

Paid mods is ok as long as 100% goes to the modder

You also need to verify that the modder isn't stealing another modder's work, which can be challenging.

Sure, but solvable
