Comment on Bully Online mod taken down abruptly one month after launch

True, but the ones who don’t sell tend to exist for longer. The ones that do sell ALWAYS go down.

Very good point.

I know it has to do with copyright issues and having to defend them. If someone else is selling “your product”, it enters a legal area most companies aren’t comfortable with. This is why in the past some very successful mods have been given licenses from the company themselves that allow the mod team to operate as a sort of “independent contractor”.
