RSS encrypt their models, but, if you purchase them, upon request, they allow designers to develop livery that they shows on their instagram accounts for promote their work. This is what i call being professional. They protect their work, but allow people who supports them to use their assets.I totally agree with you. And i Even know there a different types of encryption. Mods I even can‘t generate custom previews are for the Recycling Bin. Mods with „soft“encrypted kn5 are tatally ok for me, so i could editing the data.acd (for better BOP or other improvements to Race on Singleplayer)
Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong in grab stuff from others (like cars and tracks which basically almost 90% of the AC content is), but only if you do it in the right way (no encryption or paywall for things done by others).
I always shared my work for free and over the years i basically put my hands on almost everyone of the 600+ tracks i have in my HDD because almost all of them have small issue or things that can be improved ONLY BASED on my settings for my pc, settings in game and ppfilter i use, which is not meaning the work done by the author is bad, but means only that is not right for my own experience.
Why i always did for free? No idea, maybe because i'm idiot hahaha. Jokes apart, since all weekends i spend all my free times on configs and track cameras, like many others, i could have opened a Patreon but, until now, i never felt the need for it probably because i found a great place which is this community where i learnt a lot and where i saw my content being appreciated by others.
I will ever open a Patreon? Never say never said someone in the past. Maybe yes, maybe not, maybe is too late now. To be honest i don't know, maybe i could open it in order to allow people to request things when they need, but since i never thinked about it at the moment i have no idea on how i could structure it if i ever open it. The only thing i'm sure about is that, even i will ever open it, i will always keep releasing stuff for free since i'm grateful to this community for all the mods that they provided us and for the knowledge they shared with me too.
Oh yes, important thing that i forgot while writing this loooooooooong post: i will never ever encrypt anything (even i don't know if is possible with tracks and what its required to do it XD)
