I share the same concerns as you do. The way I see it adding curated Workshops to games which support complex mods like Skyrim, Fallout etc. would in the end kill the modding community as it is now, because like you said the only way for this system to work and generate profit is by adding some sort of DRM. The positive side of this would be mod support for consoles. I highly doubt that developers would not take the chance to make this kind of cash, but this would also split the community even further, seing the console gamers as consumers and the pc gamers (or then potential DLC developers) as content contributors. It's hard to tell if this would have a positive impact on pc gaming. I truly hope that developers keep curated workshops to games like CS:GO battlefield and the like. Those games in my opinion do profit from this kind of mod distribution and it gives modders a chance to make some extra cash. For games like Skyrim, please don't it. It certanly will cripple the community as it is now.
