    How likely is it that beamng developers are good at coding realistic physics engine but they are not good at creating car setups? It feels like that is also the case with paid modders. These people aren't engineers or race car drivers. Maybe rate the handling of these cars and how realistic they are to drive as well but there is a problem since these are fantasy and have no real life counterpart.

    That review video has essentially no depth or consistency anyway, most repo reviews over 20 characters are more informative.
    You're best off reading through the reviews of repo demos as most people post their experience and thoughts on the paid version there.

    We're talking about paid user-generated content for a paid game.

    The way in which you used this quote begs to differ

    That's from IRS policy. if you make profit with intent, it's considered business profit. hobby profit is pretty much paypal donations on someone's free mod.
    Let's not derail this even further

    I don't know if it's just my problem or if other people haven't mentioned having it yet, but another issue with paid mods is the problem of choice. Instead of just downloading things without any consideration and deleting them if you don't like them, paid mods require one to think about everything you download and do at least basic consumer research, or else run into the issue of one small purchase after one another turning into big money spent.

    Or you can just skip them altogether, as I do.

    from what ive seen all good paid mods (from forums at least) have demo versions
    that fixes the problem you mentioned. and the "basic customer research" applies to virtually anithing you buy (or at least it should) so its not that different
