Why would anyone want to charge people to play their mods? It's a MOD for heavens sake! You make it because the whole *making* process is fun. If you want to tell a single-player story, you can tell that story to more people if the SP game is free. If you start demanding money, people will just say "nah screw you" and not play the mod. On the other hand, we who are intersted in WHFB/40k are suckers when it comes to holding on to our cash. We've bought minis so overpriced that it would make a third-world country person scream in pain!

Even an Imperial kit with a Chaos Conversion sprue would be fine! I suggested this on another forum (I think it was Iron Warriors 4th Grand Company) that it wouldn't be too hard to do a conversion kit for the plastic Terminators. we who are intersted in WHFB/40k are suckers when it comes to holding on to our cash. We've bought minis so overpriced that it would make a third-world country person scream in pain! Hmmm, I'm booking a flight to India with nothing but a Warhammer 40k and Forge World catalogue, so I can point out what I've bought from them... (My IW army cost over $400 to get to 1000pts) |

Ahhh, I remember the days when £8.99 would by you 30 plastic Space Marines and a pifling £12 would get you 60 plastic Warhammer Fantasy Battle models (10 Elf, 10 Dwarf, 10 Orc, 10 Goblin, 10 Skavern, 10 Dark Elf). I also remember how the prices rocketed in the space of about a year. Shame on GW. |

This is a complicated issue:
On the one hand, yes, all software should be free, love, peace and open source. A mod should be about the making of it.
On the other hand, there comes a time where modmakers need to look into their personal future. A good way to get noticed (and a really good kick start) is to deliver a product people actually pay for. I think Garry is on the right way (for himself). I personally never liked the man. Everything I've read around the net pointed to a very ambitious and dislikeable character, but who am I to judge (especially based on dodgy forum posts).
So effectively, IF I had a mod I COULD sell ( unlike EX ) I would approach "the next step" in a similar way. I would leave the original mod as free, but I would try to create a (greatly improved) version for sale.
Remember, it takes years for a mod to acquire enough popularity to even consider such a step...

Yeah, if GW buys it, please keep them out of the actual process of game-making.
Far too many scary official GW games out there.
Like Fire Warrior. Indeed, fire warrior sucked. the book was alright though.#Anyway, fuck valve for doing this. It may be fair (garry put a lot of money into GMod) but valve are only gonna give him like 50 cents of the whole $10. |

But how would this work? Since all intellectual property is of GW and the game engine, SDK, and everything else belongs to Valve... I do not think they would get so friendly with each other.

we are not charging for RS2, so its mute point.
It will be free as was intended.
the IP ensures this.

We have to remember games workshop is a company, [blood sucking as it is], strange that it is a luxuary good so should be very elastic in price (increase in price leads to a larger decrease in demand) but when prices go up people still buy oodles of the stuff i mean the other day low on cash but i had 20 quid... i hadnt been in gwk for soo long so thought.. woo thats my £5 assassin and a troop squad... troops had gone up by 3 quid.. to £18.... did it stop me buyin it? no! will it stop people buying it no? Im actually shoked that gamees workshop released the plastic stealthsuits for tau.. ugly as i think they are.. but still they charge oodles for stuff that costs little to produce originally... i mean if they can make profit thell do it in anyway.. i.e tau was released ... a very anime looking army... guess when? before release in japan. sorry gone kinda off topic.... kill me later  also woo looking foward to the mod ^_^ |

but it is kinda off topic.
