"In light of the above facts, I'm being forced to take immediate action. I'm making unavailable all versions of the mods and also all the posts related to the wonderful work we have done here together for years, so that there will be no ground for further claims,"
"And since I cannot stop people from subscribing without closing down the account altogether, I'm making it clear on the About and Welcome pages that new subscriptions will have the only effect of supporting me and that no access to the 40+ conversions can or will be provided at this time."
"Again Patreon automatically complied. I don't blame them; DMCA law is carefully worded to give infinite power to big companies, who only need to write on a slip of paper that they 'believe' their copyright has been infringed in order to nuke from the sky anything they don't like-and to give infinite headaches to creators like me, who instead have the only recourse of going to court, sustaining huge costs to get through the legal process."
Luke Ross created full VR conversions for major games and offered them via a Patreon paywall. Attempts to secure payment for a Cyberpunk 2077 full-conversion reportedly failed, followed by a DMCA notice from CD Projekt Red. A subsequent DMCA from 505 Games over Ghostrunner prompted Patreon to comply and triggered fears of losing account access. Ross made all mod files and related posts unavailable and warned new subscribers will not receive access to the 40+ conversions. Ross criticized DMCA procedures for empowering publishers and leaving creators with costly legal recourse, and suspended the Patreon for at least a month.
