John Deere will NOT come to consoles until GIANTS gets the license for it. Look through the forums and you find this

Is it allowed for free John Deere mods to be published to mod hub, though? I thought it was only a problem if they try to put it in the official game, because then they are selling it.

no, it can go on the mod hub, but not on consoles, because giants dont have a license for it.

So people how own the game on pc can download jhon deer machinery so what's the problem for console owners

^^ LICENSING. Giants doesn't have the JD license, so console players can't have them.

Guessing it's hard for anyone to do other equipment because of licensing then

FordFarmer97 · Post by **FordFarmer97** » Sat Sep 23, 2017 10:19 pm

Yeah, other companies aren't so bad about it, but JD copyrights EVERYTHING

FordFarmer97 · Post by **FordFarmer97** » Sat Sep 23, 2017 10:31 pm

(Pretty much the same as if you would be in Hollywood and want to show a Star Wars Poster in your movie, Disney has to allow it, or they can sue you). We do not have the license for John Deere, so we can't use John Deere.

However, as a player, you can totally use John Deere, you are not a company and that's not your business, so you are a fan and as fan you are fine.

So in short: A company needs to have a contract to use a Brand (as it is part of their business) a player does not need that, as it's not a business.

So if a player uploads a John Deere, or uses it in the game ect. then that's not a big issue. If we, as a company, want to do that, we need said contract or "license".

For PC, players upload mods (no license needed)
For console we upload them (license needed)

As I said, that's a very simplified explaination, but it should show what the problem is.

This was Lisertans explanation made only one week ago, but there have been many other explanations of how this works since FS 17 has been released.
PC>PC =no money being made from the brand=ok

PC>Giants/Focus>Microsoft/Sony>consoles=money being made from the brand=not ok

this is from Listertan for a better explanation
