oh wow I didn't even know that that's awesome, but do I have to pay taxes on that?

As a very minor mod author, but one who qualifies, I thank you for the benefit Dark0ne!

That's really fantastic. I'm glad i could have a small part in it for my fallout success. :)

 

BTW< Dark0ne, we met many years ago over my music. Good to see your doing such wonderful work still.

This website is amazing, as is all the work that the staff and mod authors put into making it ever enjoyable to visit. It always blows my mind when I see someone bad-mouthing Nexus mods. This is THE place to be for both recognition, financial support and ease of use when it comes to both being a modder and being a consumer.

You'll have to jog my memory I'm afraid!

Its great to see the effort and the incredible work you do, both the staff members and mod authors. Happy to see this community gets bigger and better by the day.

 

And just to celebrate the news, I´ll be increasing my monthly patreon subscription right now, because we all deserve such an incredible quality website and such a creative and helpful community and a donation, no matter how big it is, is the way for a lot of us for helping things continue being as great as they are.

 

Happy gaming and modding to all!

Only if you get it paid out into actual cash (at least in most countries)
I would recommend looking into the tax code for your country - but most countries have a yearly allowed-undeclared income that any DP you *do* check out wont even get close to.

Again, look into your local tax code to be safe :)

ff7, they cant even lock down f76 modding, at best they can prevent you from using their official servers while using mods.

It is impossible to prevent a game from being moddable, because in the end it is binary code running on your PC, and nothing prevents you from injecting your own code into it.

If they do try and lock mods to paid - then it is just a matter of disabling whatever check they put in place to prevent "unauthorised" mods from loading.

Besides, they would be shooting themselves in the foot if they lock away modding - because they could never provide the sheer amount of content players want, their games would not sell anywhere near as much as a result.

Yup, no matter what they do, people will find a way to do it for free, without any stupid accounts, etc. This is modding, this stuff is ours.
