In response to post #24561639. I personally don't agree with Valve's plans, nor having to deal with a paywall. BUT, there is no such thing as "modding for the wrong reason" that's just selfish opinion. If a mmodder is trying to making a living of their work, that's their right - and if a modder is doing jsut for shits and giggles, that's great too. A modder's reason for modding is theirs alone, and no one elses. That said, I would rather it be optional, rather than a paywall.
