weapon2010 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 If BF can sell us a battlepack which I will be very happy to buy, can I or anyone else sell individual battlepacks or scenarios?, after all, they are a ton of work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASL Veteran Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 There is no way for you to create a scenario and restrict access only to individuals who purchased it from you. There needs to be a means within the code for you to link scenarios to your 'battlepack' and the only one who could do something like that would be BFC. So the short answer is 'no'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburke Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 (edited) plus you agreed to a EULA that says you can't. Per the EULA User-created scenarios and other materials like graphics or other mods may be distributed free of charge, but shall not be sold, licensed, or included as part of any package or product that is sold or licensed, without the prior written consent of Battlefront.com, Inc.. You may not rent or lease the Software or related materials. Now if there was a way to meet the requirement ASL noted above AND get BF's agreement...

sburke Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 so actually you could with bf consent well yeah. without step one as noted by ASL Vet though you wouldn't likely sell many. - people tend to ignore copyright these days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenris Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 A la the idea of Bethesda for paid mods... BF should leverage the community. Let users submit scenarioes and campaigns to BF that meet some criteria. Have them vetted by BF staff to do QA. Put them on a in a battle pack for sale. Give the modders a slice of the spoils. What could possibly go wrong?? -F 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanzerMike Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 You could make a donation to someone using PayPal. Say a dollar or so. Not mandatory, just as a sign of appreciation if you liked the scenario (it IS a ton of work after all). Not sure how many people would actually do that though. You probably will not get rich this way 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Williams Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 What you probably could do is have your own web site with your mods/scenarios available for download and a "If you like my material, please consider a donation so that I will be motivated to create more" button that links to PayPal. Most people who play CM are adults and probably have the financial means to make modest donations to people who create content for the game or run gaming clubs and file repositories. I know I have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenris Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I wasn't being completely serious - Bethesda's attempt to allow monetization of mods for Skyrim didn't go down to well. It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest that this isn't the way things go at some future point though for games like Skyrim, Fallout et al that have very active modding communities. -F 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburke Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 It is also income. If BF gives someone a share of proceeds from the game that may have accounting implications for BF. Yeah saw the s**tstorm over at Bethesda on that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
