Luke Ross (not his real name) creates the R.E.A.L. VR mod that adds VR support to dozens of high-profile games, including Cyberpunk 2077, Baldur's Gate 3, Hogwarts Legacy, and Marvel's Spider-Man. The mod is distributed via a $10 monthly Patreon subscription, with estimated earnings of about $20,000 per month in 2022. Requiring payment violates most publishers' terms of service, and the project previously received a DMCA takedown from Take-Two for Red Dead Redemption II and Grand Theft Auto V support. CD Projekt Red issued a DMCA takedown for the Cyberpunk 2077 VR project. Ross criticizes publishers' enforcement and defends paid distribution.
"Luke Ross (not his real name, according to The Verge ) is a somewhat infamous figure within the VR modding community. His "R.E.A.L. VR" project is a singular mod that supports dozens of high-profile video games, including , Hogwarts Legacy and Marvel's Spider-Man . The catch is that the R.E.A.L. VR mod requires a $10 monthly subscription to download directly through Luke Ross' Patreon."
"Based on a lengthy rant in the "About" section of his Patreon page in which he admonishes Take-Two for their "hostile behavior toward modders and gamers alike," the VR modder doesn't make much of a distinction between himself and those who release their mods for free."
"It blasts the Polish RPG-maker for its "iron-clad corpo logic" over the fact that " every little action that a company takes is in the name of money, but everything that modders do must be absolutely for free." "
