Piracy, Must read!

Alooo everyone! I hope everyone is doing great!!

I'm here to introduce a new anti-piracy system that will be integrated into my mods. This measure is being taken in response to the widespread piracy within the community.

Unfortunately, taking this path means I may have to stop creating mods for the community—all because one person has been sharing my content without permission. I'd much rather block them and continue delivering more great content for all of you! It's also incredibly unfair to my loyal patrons who support me financially while others access the same content for free. Your support comes from your hard-earned money, and I’m committed to making sure you receive truly exclusive content in return.

"But GDC what is this??".

Going forward, each Crazy VIP Club tier will have its own dedicated Mega folder. Since the highest tier has been leaked, I’ll begin with that one. If the @Lover Club Tier ends up facing similar issues, I’ll apply the same system there as well.

Each of your mods will be uniquely tailored for you—what does that mean? It means every mod I create will have slight differences, making each version identifiable. So, if a mod ends up on a piracy site, I can trace it back to the specific person it was sent to. That account will be banned from Patreon, and I’ll also charge for the next month in advance as a penalty. So, what happens if the mod you shared is found? You’ll lose access and face consequences.

• Your account will be immediately banned on both Patreon and Discord.

• The card or payment method you used will also be permanently banned. This means that even if you try to create a new account, the same card or IP address won't work. Using a VPN won’t help either—your payment method will still be blocked. You can always request a new card from your bank, but at that point, I’ll be happy to sell you each mod individually for $15.

• Your name will be added to the ☠│hall-of-shame channel on Discord, where everyone will be able to see who leaked the content and where it was posted, including your forum username.

• The Patreon account that originally received the mod will be banned, regardless of who actually shared it on a piracy site or forum. This means that if you send the mod to a friend and they choose to share it online, your Patreon account will still be held accountable for the leak.

Starting with the next mod release, things will change! You’ll no longer find a Mega link in your Membership tab—instead, each individual Mega folder will be sent directly through your Patreon DMs. This way, I’ll know exactly who received each copy. Hehe.

Q&A
1: "But GDC, can’t we just open the mod and remove whatever you added in the XML or code?"

Who said the identification system relies on code? 😉
Have a great day, everyone!

2: "GDC, will this new system require an extra plugin or special method to run? I’d prefer not to add anything extra to my repack just to use the mods!"

Nope! No plugins, no additional tools—just regular mods, but with built-in tracking to identify thieves.
