MODERATORS
There's a difference between improving upon other people's work for free, and taking said improvements and selling them on as your own work.
Mods are not always improvements, but they are always using someone else’s work for free.
If no one is asking you to improve upon other people’s work you have no legal right to do so.
I also agree that they shouldn’t be using the modder’s work without compensation.
I support modding, just be real about it.
“Be real” how? I’m legit confused what point you are making. “Using someone’s work for free” doesn’t mean the same as “taking someone’s work and selling it as your own.” When you buy a shirt, you can put your own art on it, but if the shirt company uses your design without credit or consent to sell more shirts, that’s a bit sketchy, no?
I’m gonna “be real” with you, it doesn’t sound like you support modding at all
Incredible analogy, makes things very clear
