In response to post #24602549. #24602904 is also a reply to the same post. Sorry to say, but with that useless attitude, every single company in the world would try and succeed F******** you in the ***. So yeah, peace. But im going to fight for the things I love and enjoy. Modding is one of these things.

In response to post #24590949. #24591089 is also a reply to the same post. Bordual only playtests mods on his set up, and in an amateurish way. This in NO way qualifies as Quality Control.

In response to post #24590694. Thank you. The fact that you wouldnt charge for money does not mean that you dont deserve a recompensation. Its just that if we let micro transactions enter single player games like Skyrim, then it all goes downhill from here. Thank you and every single mod author that is not going to charge for them.

I already posted this before, but I am THAT concerned and pissed off that I will type it again. People need to understand the severe implications of this. This will be long. 1) Consumer support. How will I know im getting a quality product? That has been thoroughly tested? If A company sells me a game that breaks a few days after release, I can ask for a refund. With this 24 hour policy, mods can literally destroy your load order, become un-usable, and we will have nothing to do but blame ourselves. 2) Who tests these products? Was it a team or just one guy? How do I know it will work on my setup? Again, the refund policy DOES NOT help. 3) The Steam Greenlight effect. Every since the SG showed up, steam has been infested and flooded with low-quality efortless quick cash grabs just to scam people for pocket change. THIS is the future of modding if we allow this to happen. 4) The Workshop gets hundreds of mods per week. Who will check that every single one of them is worth being put on sale? What will stop people from just ripping mods from someone else and selling it for some money? Nothing. 5)Micro-transactions. This is the new disease that has impregnated gaming(particularly console gaming), and this is just that. Now we have micro-transactions for single player games we love like Skyrim. This opens the doors to a horrible future, in which Bethesda might implement things like that themselves. By god, I could go on forever. We cannot allow this to happen, this will most definitely destroy the modding community and a big part of PC gaming. I never ONCE posted something on this site, because I tend to be the casual observer, but this time I HAVE to act. If we let this ´´slide ´´ then it´s entirely possible that in a few years, modding sites will be as scammer infested and irreputable like Early access and Steam Greenlight is. Please, spread the word!

I cant believe people are so innocent and naive! The problem is NOT whether or not mod authors should be paid for their work, THATS NOT THE ISSUE. The issue lies on the severe and dangerous repercussions of creating a new market of amateur and unregulated, uncontrolled pieces of software that offer no guarantees beyond the first 24 hours. That and how the doors are wide open for this to become a new Steam Greenlight fiasco. This has nothing to do with gratitude. This isnt just about mod authors getting paid, you are all acting like children!

In response to post #24564194. Im getting a Game of Thrones vibe from this. Like ´´Winter is coming´´but more like ´´Gaming is about to be dead´´ From Pre order nonsense, to micro transactions, to on disk DLC, to cut off DLC... This is taking a turn for the disastrous.

This wouldn´t work, because the single most obvious and important appeal of mods is that they are free and available to everyone. Remove that, and you´ve just got shitty DLC´s. That, and the fact that we would get a steam greenlight effect, modding sites would be flooded with bullshit from scammers looking to make a quick buck, just like early access, greenlight, and kickstarter. Even speaking of ideas like these is dangerous, since this would be very profitable for companies, but it would kill things in the long run. Its not a coincidence people are asking for Steam Greenlight to be shut down. You want that to happen to mods? If this happens, this will cripple modding and almost kill it, when its growing the most.
