While I agree cdpr have acted fine here, it is making me think. Should copy law be updated so that if something like this is considered transformative then it can be monitised, however because it uses another ip a fixed percentage minimum is due to the ip holder. I imagine there are a lot of pros and cons, but it could be an answer to huge corps hoarding and in many cases ruining beloved IPs.
Personally, I don’t see how this guy’s project hurt them in any way, even if he was making money from it. That’s assuming each copy involved a purchase from them (and if not, that would resolve it IMO).
I disagree with the hate paid mods get, at least in the current economic model. Though even if there was a UBI, I think worthwhile work should be rewarded.
