Paid mods are controverse discussed.
Are the something you appreciate or not?
I only race online so choose not to buy payware mods.
What about the copyrights problem by using some elses copyrights or another ones work for free to make your own paid content? What about copyrights owners permissions?
Up to the persons involved... none of my business.
Do they have to be marked as commercial content?
I.O. to protect those of us from providing paid mods with their work and ressources that are not marked as commercial content.
If you don't want to provide info to payware mods then why not ask first if the mod is for free?
Is it advertising for a paid product, putting them into threads like these : what are you working on
Yes and I'm sure the people that want these mods appreciate it or they might not know they exist.
What are the long term consequences?
Heat death of the universe.
A lot of unsolved questions.
Please stay polite in discussion.
