You guys actually forced me to create an account just to tell you guys how incredibly lacking your reading skills are.
How hard is it? OP stated, that Larian would be the only instance that actually could decide what is sold. So if some horse armor mod came along - guess what would happen? Nothing. 50 mods created out of greed? Most likely only a couple of them would actually be sold and guess what - there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.
If you make a script for the community and give it up for free and someone uses it - you somehow become jealous afterwards? As already explained - either state non-commercialization or deal with it.
Or how about this? You offer a script package to modders for 5$, which they can use in their vision of creating a mod that will turn in a profit. Helping them, helping your bills. There is nothing wrong with it.
You know if modders want to do it for free - nothing in this idea is stopping them.
This idea is for those mods, that might be created when $ might flow, which we would be missing out on otherwise.
I could go on with this list, but before you post at least try to grasp what the OP is saying.
Well thanx. But these few special cases actually cant, because it would ruin their dislike about something they invented and misunderstand.
Its a cancerous internet retard loop.
I only considered cromcrom few points as a way to explain some specifics better but, as you see he is a bloody moron who just intentionally doesnt want to understand anything and just intentionally keeps spewing some kind of halfbrained insults, some laughable strawmans and attempts at kiddy ad hominems, which is his schtick on these forums since i started posting here and long before that.
He usually spends his time screeching about how Larian devs are out to cheat everyone and how they dont know how to make games and... some such nonsense.
And then he would like to make it look as if he is called a simpleton just because he disagrees with something... tsk, tsk, tsk... such fantasies. Cromcrom, In your case a simpleton would be a compliment serving as a pitty excuse but i dont feel like awarding you with that.
Gotcha... are you even able to comprehend that your directions on what i should do or dont are just laughable? I mean, do you seriously go around believing that you will just order someone over the internets, let alone me ... to do something and that it will be seriously considered?
ffs...
Also, since you think "discussing this" is pointless then just stop spamming your nonsensical declarations and orders and just go do something else. Right? Not that you were actually discussing anything from the start, instead just splurging your ignorant opinions and proclamations as if anyone will actually consider those as relevant to anything.
now,...
The real problem with "Official Support", as I see it, is that it would add to their overhead costs/work which would take time away from doing other things.
How do you figure that? Isnt this kind of a thing actually their work anyway, considering their support for the editor and the game? Wouldnt this benefit them too? No reason why community shouldn't be included at some stages of it either.
Say Larian wanted to sell the Cow Simulator mod for money (hypothetical scenario).
Such a nice hypothetical example youve chosen. Bravo. That was really sly and stealthy.
Where might people go to buy it? There would have to be space made somewhere on either their site or another site which they link to. They would have to make sure the payment system is set up correctly. When things go wrong in e Cow Simulator mod, they have to take time to help with Technical Assistance. All of these issues are relevant even if it's a third party mod they're endorsing.
Steam?
Ever heard of it? Man its awesome, Its this strange company Valve, you know... they had some kind of a game or two long ago and...
Look, they actually would not need to help with technical assistance or buggs anymore then what they are doing for the editor anyway.
It would be responsibility of mod creators to fix the specific mod buggs (which would be discovered best by giving the mod for playtesting to community) and provide any assistance to any eventual players. In fact, most of these kinds of efforts would be down to the community. Not Larian studios.
You know why?
Because it is better.
And then there's the dark side/thorn of the Gaming business, Pirating.
oh, please... ffs... Non sequitur, adhoc fallacy and slippery slope all in one. Probably a few more.
If that had any relevance in reality then nobody would ever publish any game.
