CDPR is not effectively trying to kill modding. The hell with this company. You can't just ruin your own company, you have to try and ruin gaming too. I'm done. Go sell your stocks to Tencent. You might as well at this point.

Wait, what? Didn't they just release some modding tools? What are you referring to? What news have I missed?

You're not referring to the request that modders should not make characters with likeness to actual people in real life do questionable things?

there was mod which swapped joytoy with johnny silverhand.
cdpr asked nexusmods to ban this mod and it was done.
so i guess Shiznown ragequitted from gog after that cdpr move

Aren't there laws against using someone's likeness to create content that shows sexual acts? I think when deepfakes became easily accessible many countries adopted new laws against them.

If CDPR hadn't requested Nexusmods they ban the mod, CDPR could be criminally liable. If Nexusmods hadn't banned the mod, they could be criminally liable. If a gamer uses the mod and shows it to the public, the gamer could be criminally liable. And in this case, both CDPR and Nexusmods would be protecting the unthinking gamer from themselves.

If it is indeed this what OP is referring to, then, to me, it sounds like:

*modders do something that might results in massive lawsuits for everyone involved*
CDPR: "Hey, Nexusmods, we have enough court cases for now. Could you remove this one mod because it's a poop catapult aimed at an industral sized fan and it could go off at any moment."
Nexusmods: "Hey, yeah, thanks for letting us know. We also don't want to deal with lawsuits right now."
*removes one mod that may or may not break laws in several countries*
Thirstybois: "CDPR IS KILLING MODDING!"

You need to stop dropping fact bombs and real, measurable, international legal issues. Let people whine, cry and declare their ignorance. i'ts kind of fun to watch the meltdowns. ;P

main question for me is what gog's fault in this mod situation? :D

Guilt by proxy. GOG and CDPR are both owned by CDP, therefore whatever CDPR does is also GOG's fault by proxy.

I was summoned here to say that Cyberpunk 2077 is still a terrible game and the only good Cyberpunk game by a Polish developer remains Ruiner. But Elon likes CDPR now so the company will fly to Mars on a rocket of hype. This is the way.

thanks for your input to build more happier community

You mean by releasing mod tools ? by saying that they permit you to do whatever you want with the characters they created ? if really they want to kill modding they are doing a terrible job at it...

I left the rice fields and returned here just for you, franky-boy.
(Sakuna of rice and ruin was a much better game than Cyberpunk, honestly.
I was glad to have played it. Love and labor went into it. Not greed.)

i am glad you have connection to internet and powerful enough pc to post replies on gog :)

Don't let the door hit you on the way out!
