VR Modder Fights Back Against Game Companies

A Modder in a Tough Spot

A modder who creates VR versions of popular games is in a tough spot. He makes a mod called R. E. A. L. VR that works with many big games. But he charges a fee for it. This has gotten him into trouble with some game companies.

The Modder's Argument

The modder, who goes by Luke Ross, says he needs money to keep his project going. He argues that companies like CD Projekt Red and Take-Two Interactive are being unfair. They take down his mods but don't pay him for his work.

Patreon and Legal Issues

Ross has a Patreon page where he shares his mods. He says companies are only interested in making money. They don't care about the modders who make their games better. He has even released a new mod for Baldur’s Gate 3, but it might not stay up for long.

Public Opinion

Some people think Ross has a point. His mod is complex and needs updates. But others say he could just ask for donations instead of charging. That way, people could choose to support him without feeling forced.

Game Companies' Stance

Game companies have rules against paid mods. They say mods should be free. But Ross believes his work is worth something. He's not backing down, even if it means more legal trouble.
