I was quite annoyed at how pissy Rocket seems to be about exercising control over DayZ.

The cornerstone of the ARMA (and previously OFP) series was the fact that it had an active end-user community modding and tweaking the game.

Honestly, OFP would have never even gotten off the ground if it weren't for the open platform BIS provided its users.

They literally owe everything they have to that (including DayZ), otherwise I'm certain their game would've faded into obscurity like many games of that time did.

I dislike it when people who make mods try to directly control how they're used.

I got into it with the guy who made JSRS because I customized my own version of it for my personal use, and he threw a shit fit.

So I donated 125 eu and explained to him that I had no intent on disseminating my personal version of it.

He seemed fine after that.

It just seems like being that fascistic about how much control you exert over how people play your mod is pretty hypocritical considering the game it was made with.
