Starfield modder threatens to booby trap future paid mods to curb piracy

While the debate over whether mods in general should be free or not rages on, one Starfield modder who charges for their services has issued a warning to those that wish to pirate their mods: Beware of hidden mines.

Modder PureDark, who creates and crafts DLSS mods to bring unofficial NVIDIA DLSS support to various games on day one, restricted access to an “advanced” DLSS3 mod for Starfield, allowing only subscribers to their Patreon to use it. This decision and the decision to use DRM (Digital Rights Management) to authenticate users sparked a debate in the modder community, with many arguing that mods should always be free, while others argue that modders should be paid for their time and effort.
