About Mods?

This might be a dumb question, but I would like to know if mods such as add on vehicles, terrains, Etc. will cost money?

 

Probably not. Or no, the user made ones wont but the dev made DLC might.

 

Thanks, I'd still like to hear it from a dev tho.

 

I wouldn't think user-made mods would cost money, but BeamNG could have some kind of deal where a mod creator can choose whether or not to sell his/her mods on the BeamNG repository. That would be cool, the downside would be that someone could post some horrible mod and expect people to pay for it, so maybe mods would have to be "approved" as high quality for them to be eligible to gain revenue. And of course, BeamNG would get some share of the money from the sale of pay-to-use mods.

 

I have to disagree. I would hate if we had to pay money for other people's mods. Even if cars cost just $0.99 each, it would cost $99 to have 100 cars.

 

I don't know any other game where you have to pay for user made mods (aside from FSX) Making people pay for mods just seems ridiculous. You make mods for your own enjoyment, not profit.

 

totally agree!

 

It was just a suggestion, after all this isn't the same as RoR, this won't be free. So why would people pour hours of their life into creating content for a game that they payed for, when people will just download it and not care about who made it or how much effort went into the creation of it.

I'm just saying, people may want to get something back for contributing to the content of this sim. And like I said, it wouldn't just benefit the mod-maker, it would also benefit BeamNG as they would get a portion of the money spent on the vehicle.


But this isn't our decision to make, the ultimate decision will be made by the people who are actually developing this sim.

 

I agree, Once I buy Beamng, I Really don't want to pay money every time a new mod comes out. We should pay for the game and that's it!

 

If I have to pay for mods that are not official content of BeamNG, I will pirate it.

 

Yes, because if mod creators, who have nothing to do with the official developers of the engine, want to get money for their mods, that means the developers of the engine don't deserve to get something in return for their hard work on making the engine of the game that the mods would be in.

YES, THAT MAKES PERFECT SENSE LOLOLOL

Also, pirating the game still won't give you the mods, so you'll still only have the game. You're making no sense.

What you're litterally saying is: "If AMG wants money for their new Mercedes AMG bodykit which I want to have, I'll steal the stock(non-AMG-tuned) Mercedes from a dealer!". That's LITTERALLY the equivalent of what you just said.

Seriously dude, you know where the door is(or in this case, where the big red X in your browser is). We(or at least I) don't need/want people with your mentality here, honestly. If you think like that^, just get lost, honestly. I'm pretty sure whatever the devs will decide to do, will be the right decision for the future of the game and it's engine.

If you don't wanna pay for the mods, here's an idea: Just don't get the mods, and only get the ones that will be made for free, that is if there will even exist paid mods.

EDIT@Below: Actually, you can't in the litteral sense of the word "pirating". What you could do is beg someone to give it to you, while that person himself paid for the mod, or via someone else who paid for it. And if anyone on this forums thinks they can just give that stuff away for free, I can honestly say they're a total douche and should be slapped around the face with a 18-wheeler semi doing 80mph.

 

No, i can pirate mods as well.

 

And subsequently you will be sued for copyright infringement. I'm done with this conversation now, I've said all I can say.

 

Where do you people even get the vaguest idea that mods will be paid anyway, virtually no other commercial games do it.

 

Exactly.

 

Because, the BeamNG team has already said they want to make money off of this sim. So this would be another way of doing that. Okay, now I'm actually done.

 

I must agree with Mytbuster, pirating is stupid and wrong and that Lukedude who suggested it should hit the red X on his browser. I do however like the idea of being able to sell mods for ....in game money. It would be wonderful if one could create mods and sell them for more money to buy other's mods. If I understand correctly, there is going to be a career mode? In which case buying and selling mods would be very enjoyable.

 

You, sir, are a genius.

 

That's indeed a very good idea actually... Would be cool

 

Agreed! That's a great idea, MercTrucker
