The creator of popular VR mods, Luke Ross, has once again found himself at the center of a legal storm. Following recent disputes with CD Projekt, the author of the R.E.A.L. VR framework has announced another blow to his work. This time,a DMCA takedown notice targeted the VR mod for the game Ghostrunner, and the publisher – 505 Games - is behind the report.

Ross shared the data in an email to Patreon subscribers and in a post on his website. As he admits, the situation forced him to immediatly withdraw all versions of the VR mods and remove entries documenting years of work on the R.E.A.L. VR project. The decision is preventative – it is intended to “avoid grounds for further claims.”
Unlike the recent dispute over the VR mod for Cyberpunk 2077, in this case, no violation of the terms of service or problems with a paywall were indicated.Ross emphasizes that the 505 Games report did not mention monetization or the terms of use of the game. Despite this, Patreon - in accordance with procedure - automatically complied with the request.

Fallout 4 and Modding for Indefinite Game Access
The ability to use modifications (“mods”) in Fallout 4 can allow players to effectively own game content indefinitely, contingent on continued compatibility with future game updates. This is a common practice within the PC gaming community,leveraging user-created content to enhance or alter the gaming experience.
Bethesda softworks’ Role in Mod Support
Bethesda Softworks, the developer of Fallout 4, has historically supported modding, recognizing its value to the game’s longevity and player engagement.
The Functionality of Mods and Ownership
Mods can alter game mechanics, add new content, or bypass restrictions, possibly granting players access to features they might otherwise need to purchase or unlock.Though, this access is not guaranteed. Game updates released by Bethesda can introduce changes that break the functionality of existing mods, requiring mod authors to update their creations. This inherent dependency means that “indefinite ownership” through mods is conditional.
The Case of “The Frontier” Mod
The mod “The Frontier” is a specific example of a highly anticipated Fallout 4 mod that ultimately failed to reach its full potential. Its creator abandoned the project, leaving many players disappointed.This situation highlights the risks associated with relying on modded content, as the continued availability and functionality of mods depend on the dedication of their creators. The mod was discussed extensively on Nexus Mods, a central hub for Fallout 4 modding.
