Well having read Wulfmann's reasonable reply to my thread (and Steve was right authorise is
commonwealth spelling :p) I think this is a good thread. I also see why he used my initial and not my name, I understand no offense intended.
As long as the tone is kept civil ... why can't we hash this thing out.
What was said about UBI turning a blind eye to say officially illegal mods as good business sense is actually logical. I wish there was a way, calmly and without hysteria (which I was also part of I'll admit) explain to them how
uncredited mods taken
without permission to use in an authoris(z)ed payware package leaves a bad taste in the hardcore community.
Now while it is true most of the sales come from casual players, but it is the hardcore community that drove the essentials of what we have in sims with mod potential. Things like dynamic campaigns, manual TDC and all that stuff come from us. So maybe it is up to us to in a polite way stand for some morality and common sense in modding? :hmm:
