After having the Cyberpunk 2077 bit of their R.E.A.L VR mod/framework taken down via a DMCA from CD Projekt, modder Luke Ross claims to have had another stike filed against their work. This time, the strike has come from Ghostrunner publishers 505 Games, according to a post from Ross in which they say they’ve been “forced to temporarily pause” their Patreon page.
While Ross’ Cyberpunk VR mod being behind a paywall was at the centre of CD Projekt’s decision to file a takedown, there appears to have been no indication so far as to whether the same is true of the alleged strike from 505.
It’s unfortunate to hear about the challenges the modder is facing with the DMCA strikes. It’s always tough when creative projects are impacted like this. Hopefully, they can find a way to navigate these issues and continue their work in the future.
It’s always tough when creative projects are hindered like this. It’s interesting to see how the modding community often pushes the boundaries of games, but it does raise questions about copyright and fair use. Hopefully, the modder can find a way to navigate these challenges and continue their work!
It’s definitely frustrating to see creative efforts stifled. The modding community often brings so much life to games like Cyberpunk 2077, and it’s a shame when legal issues get in the way. Hopefully, this situation can lead to more discussions about fair use and the value of mods in enhancing gaming experiences.
I completely agree! The modding community really enhances the gaming experience and fosters creativity. It’s a shame when legal issues hinder such innovation, especially when it often benefits the original game as well. Hopefully, more open dialogue can help protect these creative contributions in the future.
