these are mods, and at the end of the day this is why i think they should stay free. as for 5$ you almost have 1/4 of the price of the game itself, but for that much money, it brings so little content that its just not worth it.īut on the other hand, calculating the cost per hour it takes to make a mod from scratch would make it go above 500$ depending how long you spend on it and how much $ you are payed by the hour.īut this isnt a real job. How much worth can you even apply on such a piece of content. worthless.Īnd im not gonna ask money for the prasu either, until the devs finish the proper documentation for the community to learn how to make dev quality mods, i dont see any mod that has a good enough quality to be sold.Īnd even if the mod is of high enough quality to be sold. Ive been contemplating updating the prasu for years but what is the purpose of all that if my work is for nothing?įor internet points? ooohhh. If id get payed, id be spending way more time modding and finishing my hoonicorn. thats been modding in a nutshell for as far as i can remember.Ī few individuals tried to make bank out of it, but unless its a huge mod like killing floor and it can end up being its own identity, i dont see why i should be paying money i barely have for a singular vehicle in this game. We spend hundreds of hours working on content for a game for free. Im sure some shady russians could try selling a covet meshslap that has the looks of an MR2 for profit. Payed mods? who knows what kind of content people are gonna try to sell.

We would be sure the content we are paying for is dev worthy, and has the best quality available for this game. Get a job in that domain instead if you wanna get payed a decent amount. ether it be for beamng, or skyrim, or any other game out there that sells single piece of content for an absurd amount. You can be sure ill be looking anywhere else to get that mod, and ill never give a single penny for a paid mod. Now if i see a brand new mod released but the only option for me to access it is thu a 5$ patreon. If people wants to support you and they have a choice to donate to you to help produce stuff, yeah sure go ahead. but for the mod itself to be payed content is an absolute no for me. and i also understand why people wants to get payed. Modding for beamng is a huge pain and takes an immense amount of time. get a job in that domain, asking money for a 3rd party video game MOD is just a big no for me.īut times has changed, and what we could mod in about an hour, we now have to spend 3 weeks making sure the physics goes well with what we modeled. If you want to make 3d models and get payed for it. In my eyes, mods are something people decide to make in their own free time, for free. That was a bit on a whole other level but id like to give my 2 cents on the subject Remember when steam tried to make skyrim mods payed?
