Midnight Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 (edited) This topic had me thinking for a while now and I have to get this off my chest. My interpretation of this forum was that if you made a MOD, you can share it here for free with the DCS community to enhance everybody's sim experience. It came to my attention that some modders are now charging money for their mods whitch in itself is great, my feeling is just that you should then post your MOD in the "Third Party Developer" section. I am of opinion that this community will pay for your MOD if they deem it good enough but it will NOT increase the community's involvement in developing MODS since you are not sharing with them, you are selling and not contributing! Let's build a better DCS Community! Edited December 22, 2013 by Midnight Removed: ...not here! (free advertising hey?) Misquoted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey45 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 What mods? The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

karambiatos Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 where are this mod charging modders? if they are using EDs code im pretty sure they arent allowed to sell it, unless ED specifically said that its allowed.

sobek Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 free advertising hey? How is them posting in 3rd party section not free advertising? :huh: Besides, you need 3rd party developer status to get your own forum, something which might not be granted for a small mod.

Stratos Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Example please, I cannot find one. Me neither, BUT If someone charges money for his mods I expect to be TOP QUALITY and to get support for that mod. Anyway, I can't find any mod that you need to buy.

Midnight Posted December 22, 2013 Author Share Posted December 22, 2013 I never mentioned that a MOD was posted on this forum that you have to pay for guys, this will normally happen on a PM. With regards to "advertising", some MODs are made and posted here, on further inquiry about the MOD then things take a different turn. My point is simply this, Modders should decide if this is a hobby or else they must go professional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midnight Posted December 22, 2013 Author Share Posted December 22, 2013 LOl @ piXel496 "Feel misled about what? You don't make a lot of sense right now." See first post, there is no need to complicate what was said there. It is just my opinion. You are welcome to delete this thread if you feel it doesn't make sense. I guess I was just disappointed in some modder's ethics. Just wanted to bring the message to the community that there are some "scaly" dudes out there.

Supersheep Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Some modders do take donations, which is perfectly fine. And from the feedback many people including me would indeed pay for those mods. BTW: In this case, addon might me more appropriate than mod.

Supersheep Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Pretty much. And keep in mind that nobody is making you buy the stuff. Either the people you say you're talking about are successful with that, or there's no willingness to pay and those people will look for another way to allocate their time.

Stratos Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I think he wants to say the community that payware mods are ok, he's simply trying to express his opinion. Or at least that's what I think. I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboHog Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Wow I didn't even know there were mods for sale. I hope you don't mean addons such as LotAtc, Tacview or any of the other third-part projects. There goes a lot of work into them. 'Frett' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vekkinho Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I see no such examples but even if there are some I see no trouble there, if you feel your IP and time spent in research and development should be rewarded you must set a price ... noone lives off reputation. Are we OK with that? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
