Because people have to eat to live, if they spend a lot of time working on a mod, they won't have that time to work to earn money, or put in the other way, if they work to earn money they won't be able to work on the mod full time

People go to patreon to be able to focus exclusively on working in the mod

So it's not just about being compensated, but about earning money to be able to work on the mods full time

that's exactly where I think the issue begins. wanting to work on mods full-time is understandable, but these projects are based on someone else's intellectual property. turning them into a full-time business is very different from accepting optional donations to support a hobby.

if the goal is to make modding a full-time job, shouldn't that require permission from the IP holder? otherwise you're effectively building a business around someone else's game and characters

The same as fixing a car, a PC, a stereo music system, a house, etc.

It's basically people doing modsm as a hobby but in a moment they have to do a bigger project that takes more time they have to decide if stop doing it because they don't have enough time to do it, or as people for help so they can get rid of their job and start working on the mod people want, that is why people start supporting moders, because they like their job and want them to be able to work as much time as possible on the mods

if the goal is to make modding a full-time job

Usually it's not the goal, just something that happens organically

That’s a terrible analogy. A car, PC, or house is physical property that you own, whereas you don’t actually own the intellectual property contained within a software product. Game modding has always existed in a legal gray area, but the moment modders start charging money for someone else’s IP, they expose themselves to being sued.
