Hey Beto, welcome to GTP 👍
Ignoring all the mess with who made the models and whatnot, I just want to say as a fellow car/racing/driving lover that I have always enjoyed your mods since the Focus Superpack was first released. The sim racing modding community has changed a lot from the days of ISImotor and Papyrus games, and not for the better unfortunately. There is just way too much drama, too much emphasis on making a quick profit. It seems with each generation the number of people that does this for passion is decreasing more and more. I know how hard it is to make good quality mods, especially with how complex and graphically intensive games have become. It doesn't come cheap time/effort wise. And whatever small profit you make probably isn't enough to put food on the table. But speaking for myself and many others less fortunate, we really do appreciate people like you putting out high quality mods for free in this day and age. The joy that comes from driving these cars - when we are having a bad day, it just makes it a little more bearable. That to me is worth more than any money in the world.
Now I remember you used to put the download links in your youtube video descriptions. I was disappointed when this was removed and now the only way to access is via facebook. I got the Focus and Merc via YT, but I had to ask someone here for links to the Aventador/NSX/Cayman/Viper (got it via PM, so no public links were shared). Until Apexxer posted his links, I never even tried to 997. For reasons that I won't go here, I will never have a facebook account. I understand if you'd still like your links to be on fb and not freely shared as a direct mega link, but maybe you can make the fb group non private? I think that is a good halfway compromise, all things considered. Unfortunately in this business people will always try to steal things and claim as their own, but that's just the way it goes sometimes. I trust that you are a better man than all of those people combined.
Anyway, whatever your decision I would still respect it. I just believe that good mods, when shared freely, will always rise to the top and the people behind them will still get the recognition. Putting paywalls and private links is a short term gain, but ultimately no one wins. As an old modder on Viper Racing once said, "It's only a game. Most important is to have fun!"
Hope you have a good day, and keep the passion alive 👍
