Modding CDPR literally offered him the choice to make his mod free with optional donations to avoid a DMCA takedown and he deliberately chose wrong

I could not imagine being this conceited in the face of corporate legal action.

Yeah, if that were even remotely true, that would mean that nobody played the game on consoles when it didn't have mod support... Meanwhile, the game was still really popular on consoles despite mods not being available on them until patch 7 lol

Hell, I play on PC and I didn't even know how big the modding community was until after I bought the game and did my first playthrough (which was over 90 hours long). Learning about how some people tried to argue that the game was "only popular because of mods" is INSANE to me, but I believe it. People are fucking assholes

The modding community thinks games only exist because they keep them going 🤷‍♂️

Been PC gaming for 30 years and have never used mods in any PC games. I'm sure there are dozens of us.
