Yea agreed. That guy did release a free version but that only has DLSS 2/XeSS. DLSS 3 is still locked behind patreon and due to how CPU limited Starfield is, DLSS 3 would make the biggest difference. What's funny is because Starfield doesn't have any DRM, pirate sites have DLSS modded in too but even those are locked behind patreon lul, just from the person that made the pirated version available and not from the creator of the mod. So even piraters are getting in on that nonsense.

Yeah, that's what ended up rubbing me the wrong way even more, because I know that guy likely ran benches before and after his mod, then figured "I could charge $5 for the best viable version", and everyone knows DLSS 3 and wants it, so he's basically captured a market he really should not be allowed to.

Random people on reddit keep chiming in with "NVidia tried to hire him, he's okay to do this", and I really don't see how that's fair, when he doesn't own DLSSS tech and is able to make money off of another companies tech like that. 

I said it back then and I'll say it now, paid mods can seriously bugger off. I really don't care for the life stories of "modder put their heart and soul, they deserve mone", because since the beginning, modding was done out of pure passion, not "one day I'll turn this into my life's career so I don't have to work any other normal job" (which is what I saw streamers doing over time, and yes that irks me too).
