I figure if Uber can't be assed to put out some decent documentation on the API that they are exposing to us on the dedi server and such then I can't be assed to do any sort of conversion mod.

Simple as that ~_~.

Its entirely self explanatory, you shouldn't even need any documentation? It's so simple to understand?

First time I've ever done any sort of work without using a program to do it for me (actually using javascript) and it was so simple.

Of course having TLDR'd all the statements above I would just be concerned about the copyright issues that may occur between uber and this company. If they are producing some 90% of the content and try to prove copyright claims and suddenly there is a giant legal issue it could get a little tense

Copyright issues would be managed through 'a mod marketplace agreement' were the copyright holder maintains all right to it. But they could never remove the mod from somebody after they purchased it.

TL;DR: a contract aka an agreement.

What mods exactly would a professional studio bother to make, though? They'd all be total conversions, and basically Uber'd be better off licensing the engine, as stated previously.

But I took that into account and Uber already stated that they don't want to because software patent concerns. Basically Uber would require a group to specifically look for and then notify the other group to do with a problem. So as far as I know they already took that off the table. I just do not remember which thread the post it is. Also cited other reasons. The studio could want to do a crossover without licensing the engine. Also a professional studio in this case can be one guy. Darwinia anyone. Maybe 2 to 5 years depending on the development of Prison Architect. (Awesome game PA is.)

Monetizing a hobby typically doesn't turn out
Licensing the engine to studios though. Completely fine.

You never know if you do not try. Also above and throughout this thread.

oh then I think it would be good since PA does need a actually group to keep giving it all the TLC it can get. I know uber is doing it's job but of course more updates= more notice and that would be great
