Forums now open to the public

Perhaps this has already been suggested to some degree, but what if you disable the ability to download from the forums until you've registered? I don't see a downside but I'm sure I'm missing something.

 

Will the moderaters be able to block any russian mods that are uploaded here?

 

Well pirated copies do help sometimes because people who download it might have fun and buy the game for updates

 

I feel strange. I didn't pay JUST for the game. I paid because I wanted access to the community and the mods without having to rely on other sources (pirate ones). Now leechers are going to penetrate on forums and stuff, now this community is going to be full of fake accounts and people that just don't care with each other. It's just like World of Warcraft, being a paid game means no trolls and other stuff.
Again, just my opinion

Also, check this out: Alpha_Access

"You also get exclusive access to a section of the forum where you can talk directly to the devs and report bugs, suggest features, etc.
The exclusive forum section also contains 3rd-party content, including vehicles and terrains."

 

I don't like this idea. Mods should be available only for Registered users, who paid for game.

 

You shouldn't be able to do that, don't you think its a little bit wrong to take something someone paid for then give it out for free? I could care less about my $20, but it just doesn't seem right to do that. I shouldn't argue but I feel as if its a valid point.

 

So you don't want anyone to have what you have, just because you thought you paid to get it?

I find your stance on this a bit egocentric. Stuff change, it's not if as they are giving out the game for free (which was what you really paid for), if that was the case I'd agree. This forum decision was made with good intentions to make the best of an unfortunate situation.

There's moderators here that'll maintain the place, and they might expand if needed. I really don't see the problem with this.
