Why not have someone represent the modders from this community,
contact UBI directly, and provide the next SH3 Uber-Uboat Update in the correct fashion?
This would do the following things:
1. End X1's hold on this market (stop loss strategy vs. litigation)
2. Provide a legit channel for modders and Subsim to get recognized and potentially recompensed
3. Provides an upgrade patch path that X1 cannot provide
4. Provide TONS of missions (online and multipay)
5. Raise awareness of the online community
And if UBI doesnt go for it, contact a sim magazine and see if they will their CDs that are attached to their magazines.
Im thinking that the release of mods for free need to be done in such a way that if they are wrongfully repackaged for sale, that there be encyrpted tags within the data, or install exes with known MP5 hash codes that make it much harder for them to be redistributed.
Food for thought.
And if X1 is reading this post, great. So you know Capitalism works both ways. If you dont own the source of the IP, then you have a dead end product line. No updates for your SW product apart from the missions and campaigns produced by CP. Im pretty sure that even CP is done with working with X1 in the future.
