How about actually reading and understanding the proposition and not replying with nonsensical one liners for simpletons?

How about understanding that just spamming posts over two threads wont make you any less nonsensical or your "desire" any more pointless and completely out of touch with the suggestion as it is presented?

Yes, thats too complicated and hard to to do.

One thing in regards to one of the above nonsense posts.

I see one poster throwing strawmen declaratory statements while clearly not even bothering to read anything except the title. Which probably flooded the logic circuits by itself.

The issue he strawmans in is the notion of "greed".

Like, he means to say that a mod team of two, three - five people, or one individual who go and spend a year or more working on and making a whole new campaign or practically a whole new game - would be "greedy" to ask for or hope for any reward for it.

Greedy, get it?

Its not him thats actually fueled by pure greed. Fantasizing about such big additions to the game, mods, expansions, new campaigns, etc. being completely free for him. Specifically.

Oh no, its the ones that worked their butts off that are "greedy".

Right.

I SPECIFICALLY SAID that any money earned with this new kind of arrangement with modding community will be split between Larian studios and the modders. I EXPLAINED THIS IN OP ALREADY.

So modders would not get "all the moneys" at all. This is only fair and i doubt any modder would want anything different.

If the mod is good and people like it - any big amounts of money earned would be gained through big numbers of sales through steam - and that would mean more money for Larian studios.

Point.

- I myself am planning to make a bigger mod, and even a completely new story if i see i can cut it.
Even if you presume i would be setting up the price myself - which i would not want to and i think it should be decided by Larians in the end - i would not ask any big amount. A few euros would be enough.

Any money left over for me or any other modders working with me, be it a few hundred euros or maybe hypothetical few thousands - would surely be nice thing to get for spending so much time and work hours on creating it.

I could buy myself a nice jacket or a pair of pants, or sneakers, maybe even pay a portion of my bills if i luck out with it.
Which would make spending so much time and effort on this valuable to me.

And i presume to other such modders.

Keep in mind that currently i have no idea if im going to be able to actually deliver. I will need to prove that.

Now, this is just an early discussion about this idea and everyone are "free" to voice their agreements or disagreements with it - preferably while being able to read and understand simple English language.

But if this turns out to be interesting to devs and moves toward more serious discussion i suggest leaving any ordinary greedy users out of it and discussing details only with actual modders.

Meaning those who actually make any kind of real mod in Divinity Engine.

Lets also keep in mid that having an option like this would attract more serious modders too, except strengthening and supporting any eventual modding teams or individuals already here - and that would benefit us all, in the end.
