    If the game industry wants to go to war with their consumers, let them. But it is not a war they will win.
  • @t.k.5844
    GameDev: "I'm starting to hate gamers." Gamers: "I can sympathize, actually. I feel the same way about game developers."

    "if buying isnt owning, then piracy isnt stealing"
  • @TheDRMSKR
    The issue isn't that he is adding support. The issue is that he gains money from the free models. He can only list those models as free. Which also means no pay wall. Soo, yes, he is very liable for ip theft. He's not sharing free designs, He is selling them.
  • @Dracounguis
    I don't think the general population of players ever 'accepted' the woke message. They tolerated or ignored it. And that tolerance has now been worn out.
  • @damondestructo
    Company protecting their IP from being bootlegged == immoral? He’s not “just helping” people. He’s making money on another’s IP. If he were giving away the files GW probably would have left him alone.
  • @mattyg69ification
    The guy took free models and locked them behind a paywall. Then decided to print them and sell them for $65 a piece. He ignored a cease and desist order, then wants others to pay legal fees for him. Yeah, I'm not seeing him as the victim here.
  • @cptncutleg
    Much as I hate GW, you can't take free models, modify them and reupload them behind a paywall. He fucked up, and I wish he hadn't.
  • @limaikhiankelvin9800
    Now Warhammer 40k fans can totally and wholeheartedly join the other rest of the normal human world population against toxic woke.
  • @korniestpatch
    Ok. As much as i like to gang up on GW. Im finding it a little difficult to sympathise with ripping models straight out of the game and rigging it for 3D printing. If he made them himself and got slammed like this Id be more sympathetic.
  • @radioface86
    As much as I hate GW's scummy practices, I don't think they're in the wrong on this one. The dude literally took something that was free, wasn't his IP, did some extremely minor tweaking and then slapped it behind a paywall. That's textbook copyright infringement.
  • @disgruntleddude6105
    Go to war... with your own income stream. Yeah, they've lost their minds. People who charge that much for miniatures don't get to behave like this towards us and stay in business.
  • @ShadowdaleA
    Kinda crazy how series like Astartes and Emperorer Text to Speech set GW up to make millions of dollars doing nothing. Yet, they had to do something.
  • @jD304304
    what am i missing about this eman story? he took video game models created by games workshop (that gs gave out for free apparently?) and turned them into templates for 3d printing so people could print them out as figurines, and put these templates behind a patreon pay wall? i have zero love for games workshop, but how is this not copyright infringement?
  • @Cainite
    Honestly, it's quite shitty to put something that is for free behind a paywall just because you added something that everyone can.
  • @gouravchakraborty9801
    Games Workshop is now going too far. Just because you do not agree with fans, that does not give you right to sue them.
  • @whisped8145
    2:00 Sadly, that is a clear violation of copyright, since he is putting somebody else's clear IP AND Creation behind his paywall. In that case it does not matter that he added a little something here or there.
  • @rolytnz
    Emang's mistake was putting it behind a patreon, effectively making money off GW IP. If he was doing it for free, then GW would have less of a case. They would still go after him though.
