MODERATORS
I agree with you, especially since allegedly this mod doesn't contain copyrighted materials from the games. Compared to a source engine mod where your code is based on their SDK which is licensed to you under non commercial, I think it's fair game here.
However I read that the VR mod in question was not in perpetuity and you had to be subscribed to download updates, which tarnishes a bit your point. But continued support may very well be worth a couple money every few months.
Yeah, the main issue is the mods are for a niche of a niche of a niche. Not just the niche of VR, but the further niche of PCVR, and within that, the further niche of people who don't or no longer get sick from stick-based movement in VR. Each of which cuts the audience about ten-fold.
And then for that tiny audience, he is making what is basically perfect VR mods. Like we couldn't imagine anyway they could possibly get better, until he figures out a new feature he can add, and then slowly back port to every previous game that can support it.
I very much am a continuous patron of him. For people that just want the mod once for one game, they generally don't need to pay more than once. And technically when they do, they actually get ~35 games they could also choose to play. But it's worth more than 10 dollars even for 1 game.
It is a non-standard pricing model, but it is more than fair.
He works his ass off, almost every hour of every day. This is the only pricing model that works for a situation like this.
