From the way you post, its pretty obvious $50 means a lot more to you than me, that is fine. Everyone's value of money is different. Thing is, why don't you do everyone a favor and start converting forza models with exceptional graphics and physics and release it for free. I'm sure everyone would love it. Unless you can do that, you are in no position to criticize how the modder wish to distribute their mods.
By the way I am happy to support the modders that I like in any way I wish.
£50 means what it means. If i lost my wallet with £50 in it i'd be pissed with myself.
If someone who wasn't family gifted me £50 for a birthday i'd be thanking them and over the moon.
If i heard someone had gifted £50 to cancer research i'd think of them a little notch higher.
Your bizarre attitude to suggest anyone on here lives on under £50 a month is just the most immature response i have ever read on this thread, considering the entry level for sim racing is a lot higher than £50.
And to flip it around, if £50 is such a trivial amount, why does Geroda74 charge £50 and not give it away?
I mean £50 is neither here nor there is it, so why does he even want £50 at all?
Clearly you seem to think that spending £50 on ripped mods makes you a baller.
All i think is, i can get them for free and keep donating sums to cancer research to offset devil in me that gets free forza rips from a thief ...
What you need to understand is that some will be under 16, some at college, some adults but with mortgage's and bill to pay and kids.
Some will not use AC that much and may play flightsims more etc....
I have a gaming budget and a rule, i won't pay for ripped content from other games.....
I 'invested' £400 into iRacing and don't use it anymore, i spent £100 on Raceroom and barely use it.
Neither of those companies rip mods from others though.
It was my choice.
Last year i donated in total £200 to cancer research and raised £1000 for parkinsons doing a mountain climb.
I know the value of £50...that doesn't mean that £50 doesn't get eaten by bills and fuel and insurance and food really quick.
I still can value money because i was brought up right...
I do also use the steam holiday sales i get games..... why? Because who the hell doesn't like a bargain?
I stand against anyone charging for ripped content....... isn't that what the last few days have taught us?
