Perhaps you're right ;) But if Renaud has to remain calm and respectfull, his reaction may be shows how frustrated some people feels about all of this (but it's not an excuse, it's just to focus where it hurts).

It's not a court, and even in the case it would be necessary it will never be, because we're here talking about unpaid work, made by players with passion.After working hard, it looks like their work could be use for a commercial purpose, without any credit, without giving anything in return. Perhaps they're wrong, but if they're right, any volunteer would be scared by this, espacially if it's "a surprise". I don't think it's just paranoia cause after completing a full mod, the staff would do anything they can to distribute it and enjoy it. You don't take the decision of burying your work just with light suspicions... BIS can discuss their terms of agreement, quoting and explaining in which way communities' work stays communities' property. BIS can also make some deals with communities if they want to use the mods in commercial purpose, like asking permission first, giving credits, and why not providing some servers, extra tools, new content... All I see is a company annoucing a stand alone expansion pack as the initial game still suffers many common bugs bothering players and is still suffering from some gameplay problems/limitations. I would have preferred buying this game more expensive to enjoy a better quality (and I'm not a rich guy). ArmA II became my main game but I'm not sure I will hang on for long when I see how all this stuff goes... perhaps it's time to get better interests, with people who aslo shares, even better if IRL... ---------- Post added at 03:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:28 AM ---------- Reading a little more I can't resist to gather 2 quotes : snYpir also wrote : Even if it looks like reassuring, the two precedent quotes shows the community work in not so protected and respected, but if ever you catch your work being commercialy used somewhere, be sure it's already deleted...It's just my point of view. I understand why the french staff don't feel confident.
