That’s even harder to understand than OP… how is retribution for someone’s time your problem ? Or even the game editor’s problem ?

It’s not like he’s infringing on any IP either since the editor is still selling the game to start with.

And if you are so spririted you can mod on your free time the same functionality can’t you so free it is for you…

You know that building on someone else’s work isn’t necessarily a bad thing right? Entire industries are doing « integration » work which is literally building on top of other’s work to achieve increased functionality. And that’s only in IT… and the legitimacy is very juridiction dependent as well so don’t bring legality into the debate too soon ;-)

Are you having ethical issues with the practice maybe? Do you believe you should get anything for free in software ?

Where does all that rage of yours comes from ? You pay for the time of the guy to package the shit. You don’t need to, you can yourself build the mod pack… time and convenience is a product in itself.

Yeah but it’s going to be more insidious than that. A few points in a vector somewhere in a large model used to personalise a quote. You typically never know what they fuck you about. Even here in Europe the right of access provided by gdpr might not reveal that bullshit: once the model has been training the atomic data is eventually purged…
