In a recent Steam news post, the developer explained that it had been getting many questions about mods recently and wanted to clarify its stance for players (via PCGamer).
“First of all, while we don’t have any official mod support, we are definitely happy to see that people are engaging with our game and creating their own mods for it,” Iron Gate said.
The developer went on to say that those who create and use mods are “done at your own risk” and that it can’t guarantee that mods will be compatible with future versions of the game.
The post then moved into the topic of paid mods, with Iron Gate explaining that although it understands that modders spend a lot of time creating them and might want financial compensation, it doesn’t condone paid mods. It asks users to instead show support by donating instead.
“Iron Gate does not condone locking modded content behind a paywall,” the post reads. “We feel that charging money for a mod is against the creative and open spirit of modding itself, and therefore we urge all mod authors to make their mods freely available to all who want to play them.
