Does anyone know if the grievance is legitimate?

I just got the game and I'm not familiar with the history here, but I am using the original mod in question. I did verify the files as well and they are indeed the same.

I'm not even sure how to see if Donation Points are enabled on a particular mod or author's account.

I don't mind mod authors getting some kickback if that's an option, but taking someone else's work is rather poor.

Edit: Looks like this mod was now taken down.

Edit: There's a forum post from the author of the mod in question that mentions talking to the Nexus staff.

Hopefully this was all just a bit of unnecessary drama.

Seems legit, Norbyte is a name I recognize from Div modding days, doesn't surprise me that they've written some of the key scripts for BG3 stuff.

The new mod does at least credit Norbyte/fig/etc, essentially reposting their work with SEO and monetization is more than a little scummy, though. (I also don't know how to tell whether or not a mod is monetized, and if it's not I don't really care. But don't really have reason to disbelieve that particular claim. /shurg)
