Yes, we're very happy with the settlement for the families.

I mean, we have been negotiating this for two-and-a-half years, and we are pleased that we have finally reached an agreement.

Thus, after the modding community successfully reverse-engineered the game's code, four rather famous modders joined forces to create Starfield Luma Native HDR.

Starfield Luma Native HDR will go open source in the near future, allowing the modding community to further improve it. »
