The creator of the Cyberpunk 2077 VR mod that was recently taken down after a DMCA from CD Projekt Red isn't ruling out making it "free for everyone," but says it's become somewhat irrelevant since its removal has led to pirating, and some saying "I should be punished by having it stolen."
Modder Luke Ross is well known for his R.E.A.L VR mod framework, which brings VR support to over 40 games including Elden Ring, Final Fantasy 7 Remake and – once upon a time, before a separate DMCA from Take-Two Interactive – Red Dead Redemption 2 and GTA 5. However, his VR mod for Cyberpunk 2077 was recently pulled offline, with CD Projekt Red's vice president of business development, Jan Rosner, explaining that it's due to Ross charging for his mods, namely locking them behind a $10 Patreon subscription paywall.
