That's hilarious, Here we want to charge 7 MILLION dollars for this so others can use the code that is probably protected under many layers in multiple nations. That's just awesome good job guys.
 
Yeah, that data is less than worthless, its radioactive.
 
You know who's gonna get paid. Cdpr's lawyers if anyone tries to use protected ip (code) thst cdpr wrote.

Now game modders I'm sure would love to see this.
