The devs in this scenario did very little work and relied on their community entirely to make it happen. As is often tradition to profit of another man's labor, especially one that isn't being paid. All you do is copy the methodology, using your bigger pool of resources to strike home in a cinch. It's no longer difficult when everything's been figured out easy-peasy for you. Once one a person finds a way to do it, then it's so easy, anyone can do it. they simply waited for someone else to do it, then leech off their results only to supersede them and claim all the credit for a big feature update to their game. It's wrong because in this scenario the developers themselves couldn't be bothered doing the hard work of figuring out how to implement it in game. Said BeamNG gamedevs then officially add multiplayer to the game.

Hypothetically, let's say our rather amateur modders get to a point where they "perfect" this multiplayer mod. There IS another angle to this that you're not seeing.
