Iron Warriors and Imperial Fists working together should not be a thing ever. Like I said earlier, 8th edition has made a lot of improvements in that regard. There's still the excessive grimdark but they've been cutting it with some good humour. Ork Margaret Thatcher is back and got caught in a time travel adventure so he built a super Waaagh in the past to meet up with his modern day Boyz and then went on an adventure to beat the poo poo out of the Tyranids.

Magmarashi posted:What a bunch of cops for a company that...well, loving makes GTA A game that punishes you with death when you accidentally steal another player’s car. Where lots of cop and fed trucks are unstealable for no explainable reason. Where whales teleport in huge yachts with helicopter decks and watercraft to just chill off the coast while the average player hits the streets only to be immediately wasted by a flying assault vehicle or ASM. Where idiot hackers rain money from the sky and you can get your account locked for picking it up. In conclusion Rock* is a fair and balanced company

Brainamp posted:Please shut up about warhams My opinion is they realize modding actually means money. It's why Bethesda has suddenly gone to these lengths to create these workshops to buy mods. Basically instead of selling one game you can sell a game and unlimited little bits and pieces after it. I'd be surprised if we see games as modding friendly as some of the Bethesda games without needing to do some heavy duty stuff just because people love to buy DLC. A good example is like Fortnight and all the different models and stuff they have made mad money from.

Mod shops are dumb. Modding used to be a gateway hobby to learning how to code. If companies are going to profit off of mods then modders should get paid but I have a hard time envisioning a world of monetized mods that isn't completely dystopian. That's how the youtube world got where it is. For every hbomber guy there's like 3000 dudes working a lovely gimmick and it's unbearable.

Paid mods are never going to happen. It's a completely futile idea borne of game companies' desire to have their cake and eat it too. They want people to constantly produce extra content for their game for free, but they also want people to pay them money for it. You're right that they ought to pay modders if they're going to make money off of it, but at that point it's not modding so much as contracting people to make DLC. EDIT: And by "happen" I mean be implemented successfully.

Not only is it weird fetish creepiness, it's entirely unneeded. If there's a lot of Orks about, it means there's also a lot of mushrooms, squigs, and grots about, everything that a growing Ork needs! Maybe them making their own ecosystem is leaning on the Tyranids' territory, but, eh, why fix something that's not broken?

Ask the guy who made the groundwork for the Sims 4 sex mod (that is just the groundwork, not any of the models or animations). Raking in at least 6.2k a month. I want to say 13k cause thats what I saw last time but like everyone else on that platform they're hiding how much they make now.

Releasing for free and taking donations is different because it creates a living modding environment, which is very important because it's that community effort (and often, the interactions between releases) that really makes modding work. It's the collaborative effects that make it as good as it is. If you nickel and dime everyone for each little bit that completely changes the environment, there is no common ground because there is no longer a community, there's just lots of people all with their own little hoards of commodities. You can't talk to other people about mods cos every one costs money, it's profoundly atomizing compared to the option where everyone can just go hog wild and install all sorts of stuff together. That environment attracts people, who then go on to, potentially, fund the mod makers. And yeah you might get more freeloaders, but the larger number of people total might still result in more money to the modders, and I would suggest that the cooperative environment produces far more utility in terms of people actually enjoying the loving game. Of course the developers probably don't give a poo poo because they'd rather just extract more money from the players and sacrificing long term quality for short term cash income is exactly the kind of move a lot of companies go for because ultimately the people in charge won't suffer if the property or the studio gets hosed up by it.

Corporations also consistently fail to grasp just how much money a healthy modding community earns them by proxy. Skyrim and The Sims would not be the multi-year sales juggernauts they are without their vibrant modding scenes.
