It’s not their work to be modding for a profit when they themselves get to do so for free because we all know companies would jump at the opportunity to enforce more revenue streams for themselves and take this opportunity to push for making everyone pay a fee for modding or the like because it’s their game they made.

Years of work. Hundreds of people if not more.

And this one dude gets to profit off it without giving them any kickback? It’s hypocritical and moronic and only gives companies like Rockstar more leeway in barring or charging for the ability to modify something I own and that’s not something we want to happen at all small scale or a large scale.

This is just a terrible argument, try taking that same logic and applying to to the Internet, should people not be allowed to sell software on the Internet because they didn't personally create the Internet and aren't giving kickbacks to the people who did create it?

You don’t get to have your pie and eat it too. I’m sorry.
