Those versions of Isoku's mods still belong to Valve. LEGALLY they can tell him he can't put them on here.

I'm not at all sure they'd be bold enough to try that though.

On the other hand, would he be bold enough to update them here?

It is. But others will take their place.

Cool, I should try to do that sometime :laugh:

It's unfortunate that on Reddit one of the members of the SkyUI team used the wrong approach and language, hence he sort of wrecked the mod's public image.

Meet me in Kentucky for the horse races this weekend. Bourbon's on me :P I'll be the fat guy in the infield crying because I lost a bunch of money. I'm sure that'll help you find me.

Why? If they can't monetize it why not make it free?

Robin you're like the "Official" face of modding because of the "Nexus" sites. I believe it was you and this community that got to them over at Bethesda/STEAM. Not to mention "Forbes" did a great write-up on this whole debacle and the pro's-con's of what may/can happen. I hope this all gets sorted out very well for all involved.
