The modification in question requires the game and therefore it doesn't steal anything from it, v10 doesn't require the original GMDX. There's a very clear difference between both scenarios.
The only real difference is that one scenario involves a drama queen with delusions of grandeur while actual game developers for the most part have the good sense to shut up when their feelings are hurt by a mod for their game. There are exceptions of course and I will gladly mock those tho.
Arx Libertatis is free for the taking then, and every version you release I will add +1
Go ahead, Arx could always use more attention. AL's license is even quite clear that modified versions are allowed so you even have your precious permission lol.
while claiming you are a racist rape fetishist.
Perhaps I am.
Did you even pay attention to what was written at all? The mod theft alone, while wrong, is not a huge deal. It's all the other stuff on top.
I did read some of them and decided that I don't care about v10, it's authors or the shit flinging contest you are engaged in with them. Which is why I decided not to comment on those parts but instead only laugh at you for being a control freak who is butthurt about someone doing basically the same thing you have done. For all I know v10 is really concentrated diarrhea made by literal satanists who ate live puppies while trampling over your mother's grave and it would still not make the fact that they didn't ask you for permission before building on your mod any less of a non-issue. It would also not make you any less of a hypocrite for trying to stifle other creatives you don't approve of while having benefited greatly from an environment where modders can more or less do what they want with games.
So let me get this straight.
"Unauthorised modifications" somehow autimatically justifies plagiarism to you?
So I could, for instance, copy-paste the entirety of Vanilla Madder into my mod completely unchanged, not credit the author, release an identical copy, and essentially leech downloads from the official mod, and you'd be okay with that, because "it's not stealing because it's an unauthorised modification to a videogame"?
I was going to credit revision framework for using some of their code as a base to fix a dialog issue, but maybe I shouldn't bother anymore. Why bother crediting them if their work is an unauthorised modification of Deus Ex anyway?
See how retarded you sound?
v10 quite clearly states that it is a community update (i.e. an unofficial continuation) of the original GMDX. If that sounds like plagiarism to you then you are even more retarded than I previously thought. But even if they did remove all references to GMDX or claimed to be the original authors it would still not mean that lack of permission for building on the original is an issue here.
Just because mods are in a legal grey area doesn't mean people can go around taking mods without permission willy-nilly, and CERTAINLY not without credit. That's simply human decency, something you obviously lack.
It means you need to take a step back stop applying double standards. Meanwhile literally all of human creation builds upon the work of others and all but an infinitesimal small fraction of all cases no permission was sought. If you want to make stricter rules for yourself then go ahead but that doesn't mean that others have to follow them.
How much of a corporate-owned brainlet do you have to be to think that a corporations approval means anything anyway....
People who complain about "unauthorised modifications" or think it means anything in a discussion should get off the internet and go back to their funko pops.
Lets be honest here, ds doesn't actually believe the bullshit they spew. Genuinely believing that plagiarism is okay because of a legal grey area is insanely stupid even for them.
You're right that I don't actually believe a lot of the things you think I wrote. But the issue here is not with the contents of my posts but with you reading comprehension, or rather the lack thereof. That's the charitable interpretation of your reply anyway.
They just want a justification for stealing your mod.
Wow now I too stole his mod. Yarrrrr! You'll never take back my booty.
Because they're an asshole.
Well you are certainly living up to your chosen username.
Go kill yourself.
it's a bad mod that completely compromises the vision of GMDX (which it is)
"Oh no someone did not like all the changes I made to yet another persons work and reverted them in their copy while making some changes of their own which I disapprove of. Anyway..."
Most players do not give one fuck about modder drama. Nor should they.
