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 ?
