Everyone would benefit if game studios released a fraction of their 3D assets when launching a game.
Imagine if the GoG Cyberpunk2077 goodies pack included a blender directory, with four 3D models - rigged and with few base animations :
- hero - V default character M/F
- weapon - Militech 9mm M-10AF Lexington
- vehicle - Quadra Type-66
PROS
It would be una bendición for tons of players, including :
- aspiring and experienced modders, whom would get official material to work from. Mods are known to increase game longevity and thus are profitable for the studio.
- People learning to make video games, and god knows how the status-quo, of game makers gate-keeping milked and catheterized players from ascending into supreme creators, stinks ugly Toad Prince farts.
- Content creators, thinking the average youtuber/streamer, that could make thumbnails with fun poses,
- every person who wants its cheap figurine, and has access to a 3D printer. Which is virtually everyone now, given maker labs and 3D-printing online orders.
Cyberpunk would pioneer in the tripleA industry and raise the bar in value delivered once again. and gain more love, recognition, praise from journalists, jealousy from shit studios.
It would increase community interaction.
CONS (that are in fact pros) :
It would hinder CDPR's merch sales.
Except that it would not. The market segment for figurines is that of luxury goods, they cost more than a hundred dollars each : virtually giving a free 2$ merch to everyone is just a way of harvesting attention, growing the market, and turning more potential buyers into high-end sales.
It would risk game sales. Or an outsider studio could steal CDPR hard-fought position.
No. If all it took to make a metacritic-95/100 AAA was the 3D assets, people would have come to know by now.
It would cost a lot.
No.
It would...
Wrong
"But..."
Just do it!
P.S. An aspiring modder whom just wants a statuette for free teheh xD.
