  2. Starting Up - Vanilla Dayz Epoch

    in General Discussion.

    Posted

    Hello,

    Looking for a partner if you would, to help start up a Vanilla Epoch community. Today's Epoch servers are complete and utter shit with all these addons and map additions. It's just absolutely atrocious. I ask if you are interested that you have some type of experience with operating with dedicated servers, databases, MySQL, and working with C#/C++. Feel free to message me.

    Does anyone know if there are some decent vanilla epoch servers out there. No addons that make the game easy. Just good old fashion Epoch. Haven't really seen any as everyone now days are leaning towards packing their servers with so many addons that it's not even a challenge. If anyone knows a community of server that has a vanilla server let me know. I'd really apperciate it.

  8. Steam Workshop - Paid Mods?

    I agree.  I also think that gamers have been spoiled for nearly the last two decades, with getting additional content added to games for free.  Many games have been given new maps, weapons, vehicles, avatars and many other items free of charge after the initial title purchase.  Gamers have come to expect this.  For the last 4 or 5 years many studios have been doing the paid DLC, and gamers have been crying about it, but it's slowly becoming the norm.  

     

    I believe those who add new content to any released title should be compensated for their time and efforts, regardless of whether they are the game studios themselves or dedicated modders.  If you are adding value to the game and providing additional entertainment to players, then you should get paid.  Period.  The trick is in how to balance it.  How do you pay mod makers and at the same time protect consumers from mod makers who are only in it for a cash grab?  There's lots of them out there.  And, let's face it, life happens.  Sometimes a modder may be in the middle of a project and they get into a car accident, or a spouse gets sick, or a perfectly healthy child suddenly develops special needs.  What happens to the project?  What happens to all the money the modder has been paid for work already done and released?  These are only a couple of the dozens of possible scenarios that need to be planned for and systems put in place to protect both mod makers and players alike.  I think it can happen.  I think it should happen.  It's just a matter of how and when.  

     

    How have gamers been spoiled for the past 20 years when half of this mess hasn't even been going on for 20 years? Mods are not made to be sold, and they want never be. The proof is in the pudding, look what Valve and Bethesda tried to do. Then look at the retaliation. Steam lost MILLIONS because of this shit. They want be doing it again.

    It's not 75% steam... steam pays the publishers and game creators. I believe steam (valve)'s actual cut was around 35%.

     

    Sadly, 99% of the outraged keyboard warriors have no idea about business decisions and value of IP when it comes to risk/reward with something like this.

    Where did you see this at?

    Its just the tradition of FREE mods that steam is going against. Its not even a big deal. and steam gets 25% author gets the rest.

    IIt's 25% Modders - 75% Steam. Modders don't even recieve money too unitl they reach $100 worth of purchases either.
