The next-gen update of The Witcher 3 will feature the most popular mods created by players themselves. Using the works of the community is quite a common practice lately.
Moderators have become an integral part of many different productions, both online and single-player. Their work is often overlooked, even underestimated by developers. CDPR has a different approach.
It is known that the next next-gen update for The Witcher 3 will include a variety of modifications prepared by the community. This is in a sense an appreciation of their work. Of course, CDPR has also prepared compensation for them.
Mods in The Witcher 3
The official thread confirmed that CDPR was actively looking at the life of various modifications. After analyzing them, the decision was made to introduce them directly into the game. As a result, console players will get what they couldn’t experience before.
Money is one thing, but commemoration is something much more valuable. It turns out that CDPR has decided to include information about the creators of these modifications directly in the source. It’s hard to imagine a greater honor for a Witcher fan.
Unfortunately, it is not known what kind of remuneration was offered to mod developers. One can only guess that the rates depended on the sophistication of the mod in question, and the whole thing is overseen by an NDA that will probably never be broken.
