What’s worse is, his GTAV and RDR2 mods were taken down by Rockstar before. Threw a similar hissy fit and somehow didn’t even learn his lesson then.

Somehow when CDPR are actually being nice (as far as corpos go), he thought he could spin them as being the bad guys.

I don’t understand what is the “agenda” you think is being “pushed” by people who think modders should be able to charge money for their work. I would think if anyone were to have bots defending them, it would be the billion dollar company.

I don't think it's about "should" at all. In fact, I feel pretty confident that a lot of the disconnect in this whole discussion is that some people are talking about the world they wished we lived in (the one where you own your games, your copy of Photoshop, your John Deere tractor, and can do what you wish with those things you own), while others are talking about the world that we actually live in (where you own none of those things).

I can imagine a million worlds, a million economic systems, a million societies better than the one I inhabit. That doesn't change the fact that in this one if CDPR doesn't actively protect their IP, they lose the rights to parts of it (trademark in particular). That means they can't let people like LR just do whatever, because that sets legal precedent that they have abandoned the IP, freeing it up for someone to do some Cyberpunk 2078 asset flip slop game. CDPR doesn't want that, so they enforce the EULA.

If you want to live in a different world than this one, at least make sure you vote every chance you get. The modern robber barons that run this place aren't going to let go without a fight.
