In response to post #56116056. #56148496, #56151416 are all replies on the same post. Its not about right or wrong. It's about the drama that already exists which MAY, key word may, be amplified by this system. Just gonna point out that I dont care whether or not we have this system but for many users they do care. When the idea of "winning", or in this case gaining something for your mods comes into play it will no doubt upset some people. People often criticize and complain that the FO4 section of modding is mostly filled with body presets or looks menu presets. We will perhaps see more of these mods with these new incentives. Simiarly, people criticize that the majority of mods in Skyrim SE are companion mods and ports. Likewise, we will see even more ports (not a bad thing) and even more companions because of these incentives. Plus there will be the drama of how donation points are allocated and what's agreed upon between both authors. I hope I'm wrong about this but I'm only saying this based on the fact that this drama is already here just because endorsements exists. Whenever I asked permissions for porting some mods, authors have insisted that I linked their mod pages so that they get some of those endorsements. Again, not a bad thing and they should get endorsements but that is just an example of potential drama to be created just from endorsements. Ive also had mod authors say "You can port it but let me publish it." Not saying it's a bad system. All Im saying is that the amount of people complaining and moaning will increase. As well as unnecessary drama between users and even between mod authors. THAT is why I'm getting my popcorn ready. To watch the drama that ensues on reddit and on various forums.
