IP rights for games are very strange at times, however if they weren't protected then no company would invest in game-making at all.Originally Posted by khelvan
So long as noone is skimming off the potential profit for the company, however, it seems like most are happy to let mods be made - as free promotion and to reduce their need to update content periodically.
Personally, I think the "business model" could probably stand some changes but its tricky to do it, and it sounds a bit weird, so selling it to investors would be a bit of a task.
Oh well, whatever the reasoning, EB can't/won't charge, so everyone just count yourself lucky and donate to maintain their site. :)
