They are not distributing components of the dll. They are creating a modification of a Bethesda game which has allowed modding at the discretion of Bethesda.
The Nvidia dll is being redistributed without modification for an Nvidia GPU as exactly described.
Do you think every single game publisher negotiated a deal or paid money to ensure DLSS in their game? Can you point out any documentation outside of the direct reference to the SDK license that I linked that is in direct opposition to what your are saying? Can you point to me any discussion what so ever about paying to implement DLSS?
Then don’t use it. Pretty simple. No need to bitch about a dev who believes it has value and coded it for you. Seems to me pretty much everyone is butthurt about having that decision to decide to pay for a third party optional enhancement if it’s valuable .
God forbid we pay for a fucking cup of coffee because that person should want to work for free. This is the same bullshit as “work hard play hard” and “we are family here”. Might as well start telling modders it’s not about the pay, it’s the people and experience we’re paying you in. Rent what’s that?
You are all on a lemmy instance after 2 months of non stop bitching about non paid reddit moderators. Make up your damn mind.
ITT: A gross misunderstanding about how mod and DLSS/RTX licencing works.
Folks act like modding is a constitutional right and not expressly allowed within TOS. Guys of Bethesda wanted to go full on piss on the community they could shut all of it MPAA style. They choose to let modders use and monitize their assets because it’s less expensive and harmful then attacking everyone e.g Nintendo. documents.bethesda.net/en/terms-of-service
RTX is fully redistributable without modification as long as it’s used on Nvidia hardware.
Lololol so because some people volunteer their time everyone should perpetually.
If you don’t want to pay go volunteer your own personal time instead of making excuses how mod devs shouldn’t have the option to monitize where contractually available. But your won’t because it requires years of developing skills and time to implement and that’s a lot harder than bitching on the Internet about how some guy had the audacity to ask for pay.
That’s a really long way to say you want free labor. That work is time. They developed those expertise. If you want it free, go ahead and do it yourself or hope some one will volunteer their time. It’s $5 for fucks sake and most of the software will be pirated anyways.
Getting pissed or calling it 'just a mod ’ is irrelevant.
