Somehow none of this is a problem in sim racing, where plenty of paid mods exist just fine.
I'm ready for someone to try explaining how sim racing is totally unlike other games.
Probably because those are the terms that the company whose product they're modding set out for them.
CDPR has opted not to implement a mod marketplace though. The expectation there is that all mods are free for all.
No one has said anything about a ‘mod marketplace’. None of sim games I know have a ‘mod marketplace’, so it's unclear where you pulled it from or what it has to do with anything.
But have these companies indicated that their branding shouldn't be used to advertise 3rd party software?
The "mod" in question isn't even specific to that game, it's just one game being used to advertise the software.
Third-party software, like for example custom dashboards displaying telemetry from the in-game car on either the monitor or external devices?
Oh look
