Hello, simple question, what do you mean by 'mass distributed commercial games or applications'.
for example:

• If I create a small game, with a CC4 character and some friends buy it from me (approximately 20 friends) it is a mass distribution?
  
• If I create a Patreon page ( or ... ... ) for a game with a CC4 character, and a few people donate money each month, it is a mass distribution?
  
• If I create a game with a CC4 character, put it on Steam and it is sold to 10 copies, it is a mass distribution?

Currently freeware games don't need the extended license. Commercial games need the extended license. 

But of course it would be very welcomed, if individual developers who make and release games by themselves, could just use the standard license for commercial games and applications. The extended license would then only be required for companies. Maybe Reallusion could change the license in this way. 

That was my point exactly. Mass distribution just mean the plaftorm you are using to distribute your game can attract 1 person or 1 million.
That you sold 1 copy or 1000 is the same result: you would need extended license for the store bought items that requires it.

In fact, in the end, all users must buy extended license for exporting cloth models bought in the reallusion store. No one can escape.
Please don't lie to yourself.

Hi Peter, 
Could you or someone from Reallusion clarify what licenses are in the "Character Creator 4 Digital Human Essential Bundle + Hair and Beard Builder".
It's incredibly confusing trying to understand what exactly is being purchased from a licensing standpoint.

Hi...

The content included in the Character Creator 4 Digital Human Essential Bundle all have an Extended License. This means that the content can be used in commercial games and applications.

The Hair & Beard Builder Combo pack comes in two versions. Standard License and Extended License. The Standard License version comes with the special combo bundle above, so If you plan to use the hair and beards in commercial games or applications then you will need to purchase the Extended License version separately. Alternatively you can contact our Customer Support department using the form below who can give you the combo price for the whole package.

Thanks Peter. This is great to know, and hopefully Reallusion can make this more clear in the bundling process.
I've reached out with the link you gave but the ticket system is giving an error whenever I try to send the message to support. 
SO I sent an email to sales@ so hopefully someone can assist me so I can pay for these products. 
Thanks again

I’m just catching up on all this now, and it’s incredibly frustrating. It was already ridiculous enough, when there was only a small discount available, upgrading from CC3 and Iclone 7 to the new versions. This is next level.

I only just noticed this licensing change today. I am incredibly angry, to be honest.

There is literally no point in using your software for video games anymore. These costs are downright predatory.

Sorry, but considering how expensive your software is to begin with, I personally don’t think there’s any need for multiple licenses at all. You don’t need to be nickel and diming your customers this badly. It’s ridiculous. Just have people pay one fee, one time, for your products, and let them use the thing they paid for as they wish.

This is pure greed, and I imagine it’s going to backfire horribly.
