Luke Ross, the creator behind Cyberpunk 2077 VR mods, has taken down his VR mods from Patreon after a new DMCA strike by 505 Games. He says he will disable all versions and related posts, and that new subscriptions will only support him with no access to the mods, citing the DMCA process as powerful for large companies and noting a prior DMCA from CD Projekt Red as well.
CD Projekt Red executive Jan Rosner said Luke Ross's Cyberpunk 2077 VR mod could return as a free release after removal for monetization under the Fan Content Guidelines; Ross countered that demanding the mod be free isn’t his right, but he’s open to a win-win solution, noting it was Patreon-backed and referencing his history with other VR mods.
A paywalled Cyberpunk 2077 VR mod by Luke Ross (R.E.A.L. VR) drew a DMCA takedown from CD Projekt Red. Ross doubled down by releasing a VR mod for Baldur’s Gate 3 using the same paywall approach and criticized what he calls publishers’ 'corporate logic' that favors monetization of developers’ work while demanding free contributions from modders, prompting backlash from the community and a broader debate on paid mods.
