The modder in question for this case is not above placing DRM within his paid mods, including malware payloads. So I’m skeptical of any system of monetization not immediately succumbing to malicious compliance.
Mods are by the community, for the community. If your mod has enough significance that you believe it is worth monetizing - create your own game with the endless amount of tools available with that hallmark feature. (Or actually talk to the devs to work out an official arrangement rather than being a hardass and witnessing the consequences of your arrogance)
Why do people think luke ross is the same person as pure dark? I’ve seen this in other places too.
They are completely different people, they have completely different patreons, and luke ross doesn’t have time to pretend to be a whole different person on top of himself. Is it because both their mods include, in part, the acronym “dlss”? As far as I can tell that is literally the only possible link between them. And technically that’s even a stretch, because luke ross’s mod suite actually adds DL"S"SS, the extra S is for a version that works properly in stereo. Which no one and nothing else has.
…you are aware of the perverse incentives that kind of system would bring right?
“Here’s alpha 0.01. It gets to the title screen.”
“If you donate here’s version 2.00 to download with experimental (wink) features such as actual playthrough complete testing.”
Sure if the code is open you can just build it yourself. And if 2.00 builds go open in a time window it’s just time gating.
But your right the incentives are to keeping pumping out a parade of changes to make donating seem worthwhile to get early access
