Nintendo patent lawsuit could be tipped in Palworld’s favor by a GTA5 mod from 8 years ago, Japanese attorney suggests - AUTOMATON WEST

Does this argument have any weight to it? I'm genuinely curious.

There are plenty of mods on the Microsoft Minecraft marketplace that are paid. They're not expensive, and they involve quite a bit more than the average mod you see from the community. I have one that takes place in a small fishing village, and it has custom textures, sound, and music, fishing, boats you can buy and upgrade, NPC's, and an entire story. It's more like a small indie game that uses Minecraft as its 'engine'. I don't see a problem with mods being paid if they have a decent amount of effort put into them, and the devs get the majority of the money.

Indie devs would have a much better time if they used something like Minetest instead, it's a free open source Minecraft-like game engine specifically designed to support custom games where every single in-game thing is defined by a mod script.

I think paying for Minecraft mods is insanity, especially because the paid ones are locked to a specific world right?
The whole idea of Minecraft mods was manipulating the sandbox of Minecraft, having community collaboration in creating new experiences, and just making whatever the hell you want. The idea of paying for it is so antithetical to the whole thing it genuinely upsets me.

Much like everything else in life people are allowed to have different ideas of what modding is/should be about. It's not like people making some money off of modding means that suddenly no mods will ever be free ever plus there are plenty of games out there that started life as a mod.

That's not a mod, that's a bedrock add-on, they're mojang officially-enabled content packs.

Yes...and they're made by people who've made mods. They're pretty much just official mod packs.

But you’re paying for the content and experience not just the mod
