Looks like the Ghostrunner developers also have an issue with paid mods running off their IP.

I'm not a fan of paid mods personally and would probably never buy them, but I also think these copyright claims are crappy and seem baseless to me. What he sold was his own original code. He should be free to sell it and let people decide if they want to spend money on it. That may break the ToS of these companies, but ToS are not laws.

Agreed.

I understand the IP issues around marketing but not the entitlement of people who think it's okay to demand that they be given it for free.

The developer still has to eat and live. If they choose to work for money that's literally one of the most universal things that people do on this planet. It's ridiculous and immature to demand otherwise.
