What, for mods? That stuff's vile. That model hasn't worked anywhere in years, and it's against most EULAs out there.
while Mojang's Minecraft EULA statesYour right to use the Software is limited to the license grant above, and you may not otherwise copy, display, seek to disable, distribute, perform, publish, modify, create works from, or use the Software or any component of it, except as expressly authorized by EA.
and Sega's general EULA available on their website saysAny tools you write for the Game from scratch belong to you. . Modifications to the Game ("Mods") (including pre-run Mods and in-memory Mods) and plugins for the Game also belong to you and you can do whatever you want with them, as long as you don‘t sell them for money / try to make money from them. We have the final say on what constitutes a tool/mod/plugin and what doesn‘t.
You agree to only use the Game Software, or any part of it, in a manner that is consistent with this Agreement, and you SHALL NOT [...] reverse engineer, derive source code, modify, decompile, disassemble, copy, or create derivative works of the Game Software, in whole or in part (except as the applicable law expressly permits, in which case all and any modifications, adaptations, copies, improvements, etc. shall belong to, vest in and be the exclusive property of Sega and/or its licensors on creation, in any event);
The old TSR model was against the EULA, but God, can you imagine the enormity of the shitfit that would've followed if EA had moved to actually close it down at its height? EA ended up just making a "we ain't touching that shit" statement six years ago and left it at that. As it is, though, TSR moved away from that model anyways, and now you just pay money to make advertisements go away on that site rather than pay for access to the downloads themselves.Wasn't TSR built around that model. Micropayments for items? I don't see anything wrong with that model.
