'Seawolves' contains Mods by...

[Abraham]

Dear Wulfmann,

I agree on much what you say. You try to find some middle ground, which is fine with me. You are not alone there and I don't think that anyone is flaming at you because of the position you take.

I would also agree that it might be easy for people outside of this comunity (sorry Beery) to have a disk with mods.

But you have to realise a few things.
1. X 1 started with loads of mods that were taken without permission and/or credits from creative people who wanted to do this community a favour.
2. Somebody clearly acting as a 'representative' or 'front man' for X 1 behaved in an unworthy way on this forum (and the UBI forum).
3. This is a matter of principle and respect for our modders and many ithers in the subsim community.
4. Seemingly under pressure from this community Reggie McNeal states that there are no mods in the final release version used without permission.

I think you will agree that a 'theft' of the artistic and creative expressions of our mods was prevented by the vigerous reaction of the community, not by the decency of X 1.
We do not have to state our demands to X 1, like "please do not steal our modders work."
It's them who should apologise...

Since this is a matter of principle and respect numbers of DL's or the size of X 1 are hardly relevant.

By the way: you said you sent them e-mails, if I remember well. Did you get any answers?

I want to have nothing to do with X 1 or its 'representatives' anymore... other than keep an eye on the release version.
I hope this whole matter will be forgotten and this thread can be closed in a week or so...
