I'm glad Blackrack is working for the Kitten Space Agency developers because it'll mean at least volumetric clouds + eve + scatterer will be part of the game when you buy it. I know alot of people on Reddit strongly dislike that he asks for payment but the work he is doing 100% deserves to be paid for. The tragedy is that the KSP 2 studio blew through $40 million before hiring him during the last 6 months of development and that none of his work even made it to the game's final patch release. His work as a graphics engineer is worth way more than the measly amount he makes from patreon donations, and the proof is in the fact that the KSP 2 studio and Kitten Space Agency studios both hired him to work as a full time graphics engineer. That kind of salary in the industry is an easy minimum 6 figures given his skill set, and the fact that you can even buy his work for only a one off $5 payment is insanely good value.

You have to be deserving of it to charge. Normally the entire purpose of modding is free community resources, but blackrack’s atmosphere stuff is basically his trademark at this point, he got hired by PD for it before they canned KSP2, and he’s already got a new job on the KSA project for it as well. I don’t mind paying 5 measly dollars for that kind of work. But it needs to be that kind of work. Something so signature nobody else could produce something like it. I believe parallax is one of those things too, Linx puts a lot of effort into that mod and especially into mod compatibility with mainstays like outer planets and co., stockalike station parts, near/far future, etc. Plus it’s not like he’s locking everyone out entirely, he only charges for access to early builds before official public release, which is perfectly fair. Blackrack doesn’t have a free version of the clouds, but he did recently release deferred for free, which is a very beautiful visual mod. yet he didn’t put it on his patreon exclusively, so clearly he has an awareness of whether or not a mod is worth charging for. He also says you can share the volumetrics among friends and he won’t mind as long as you don’t outright undermine his sales by posting it online for free. All told, these guys aren’t grifters, they only sell what they believe is worth charging, and it’s a high bar at that, and they aren’t stingy about it either, they actively encourage you to share the file locally so that only one guy out of a group of some friends has to pay, they provide free updates, or in the case of Linx, the charge is only temporary. My only gripe on the paying service for their mods is that they should move to a different service than Patreon for selling them. Because you can’t get updates unless you keep an active subscription, which is not worth it with the update cadence. Blackrack will send you updated files of his volumetrics mod if you prove you bought it at some point, but that’s inconvenient for both him and his buyers. They should both consider instead selling “keys” of some sort to a secure server or drive so that you can buy a one-month subscription, be rewarded a key, and then have access to that mod and any updates they put there even after the subscription ends, that way it’s an actual one-time payment for that mod.

Last thing, modding has been always been a hobby, that is true.

Most products that use EA as a shield had oh-so-many red flags before they even went into EA. To use KSP2 as an example, the publisher was already well known for that kind of nonsense, the original development company was the target of a hostile takeover, they didn't hire any of the original KSP team, they didn't have the original KSP team on call to help work out known issues, and they didn't even really get any of the community members involved until, what, 6 months before the EA launch?

If you can afford a PC that can run KSP with graphics mods, then you can afford to pay for the mods. LOL

"If you can afford the ambulance ride in the USA, you can afford the treatment" is what you just said.

In my case I didn't buy the PC my dad did, I don't wanna pirate the mods either cause that just feels.. Scummy, I'm fine with it for say, old retro games cause those companies both don't care about that and also dont profit off those games anyways but with such a small creator and all pirating that feels bad. Not that I would even know WHERE to get a pirated mod.

@@Sharpless2 Using the logic of your replies, that would make the mods significantly more expensive than the PC which makes no sense. I'm not a fan of paid mods, but cmon,

@@Sharpless2 Come on. Ambulance rides are not that cheap in the US. If you skip one ride, you would be able to buy a high end gaming PC, assuming that you survive.

The least the jerks could do is make sure the ram useage and fps is better,if i haven't seen this vid i would think the paid version is just as choppy and would think "they want money for this laggy piece of shit?" 😂
