Swen Vincke says fan mods 'shouldn't be treated like commercial ventures that infringe on your property' just hours before Wizards of the Coast retracts its BG3 Stardew mod takedown
I feel like mods should be protected like 'right to repair'. I know that seems a bit extreme but seriously, these people devote their time to create insane content, more often than not for free. I played Oblivion for hundreds of hours just because there were sooooo many mods for it. ARK is another example.
But the problem isn't that the mod is based on BG3. It's a mod for Stardew Valley. It just uses characters from BG3.
Making the mod for a FOSS game instead wouldn't change anything. The only solution would be making a Tux-mod for Stardew Valley instead. And who tf wants to play that?
