Cyberpunk 2077 VR modder doesn't rule out releasing it for free after DMCA, claims there was "no negotiation" with CD Projekt
Following a mod which provides VR support for Cyberpunk 2077 was hit with a takedown request by CD Projekt, its creator has now said that they've not ruled out the possibility of releasing it for free. However, they've painted that as an unlikely road to go down, arguing that it's "kind of become a moot point" due to piracy of their work following the strike.
The fact Luke Ross' R.E.A.L VR mod for Cyberpunk, which is one arm of a wider VR support framework for a wide range of games, was behind a paywall appeared to be the crux of CD Projekt's decision to strike it. The studio's business development vice president Jan Rosner claimed in a post that they offered Ross the option of making it free and switching the paywall for optional donations, in line with their guidelines for fan-made content.
