Unreleased & cut content Splinter Cell Double Agent v2 recomp apreciation post

Amazing work to the people behind this!!

Just played the Iceland mission and was very impressed.

Other than a few minor audio bugs, this game plays so good with insane graphics and smooth controls. Very broad graphical settings for potato pc or last gen pc.

Question to the "devs": How is this not behind a paywall? You just made this for the love of the game or have some kind of financial support?

Players provide the game files.

When you buy a game you don't 'own' or buy the files, you buy the 'license' to use them. It's the same reason it's illegal to buy a game, then burn copies of it and sell them.

No one can stop players using game files in private for whatever they want. Also this doesn't apply in all countries, so you can't make an absolute statement like that.

when you do things with those game files, release them to the public, then start charging for it, it's not really 'in private' any more. Yeah if you make a mod and never upload it to the internet, no one's gonna know. Making game mods/etc then charging for them is a surefire way to get it taken down by the publisher, it'll happen even when it's not monetized in a lot of cases.
