I have sent the following message to Chesko: "Hi Chesko, In light of the recent events, I wanted to send you a message. Please note that this is not a hate mail, nor am I flaming you for your recent actions. I truely appreciate your efforts in your Mods as Arissa have brought me hours of joy in-game. I wanted you to know that right now I believe you are in a position to make a statement of the recent events. I am of the firm believe that modders should be given proper appreciation of their work, however I do not agree with the model that Valve has introduced. You can find my full post here if you wish => http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/news/12449/?page=1&sort=DESC&pid=0&thread_id=2793304&pUp=1 I believe that if Valve is to take a 75% profit form you then they should have an active responsibility in verifying, authenticating and to provide technical support for the mods. Modders in general do not have a responsibility to update or provide support for their mods as they are distributed to the world at large as is because there is no vendor and consumer relationship created. Contrary to donations which are in part largely voluntary, do not create such a relationship. However once money is involved, there is now a very real vendor and consumer relationship. This inherently imposes responsibilities on all parties, such as using the mod for its intended purpose, ensuring the mod is in working order etc. Analogous to purchasing a product from a store. Nevertheless, on behalf of the community I am requesting that you sign this petition => https://www.change.org/p/valve-remove-the-paid-content-of-the-steam-workshop And make a post telling the community at large that you have done so. Please forward this to any other prominent modders of whom you know have taken up the offer from Valve. Again I would like to make it clear I am not judging anyone for their actions of late, I only want whats fair and reasonable for all parties. If any modders are unsatisfied with the appreciation in which they are receiving, marthgun in his post suggested that advertisements be introduced in downloading similar to Youtube which will allow all modders to have monetary gains for their work and effort and also not create any form of consumer vendor relationship. I trust you can see the injustice in this and will do the right thing." I trust anyone who reads this post and my OP above will appreciate what has happened and understand that this model introduced by Valve is not only unjust but entirely unilateral in that they take no responsibility for the mod itself yet have gained a 75% profit from the work and effort of modders. Please do the right thing, sign the petition and lets all keep our fingers crossed!

In response to post #24578789. #24579599, #24579684, #24579689 are all replies on the same post. Adding advertisements similar to Youtube is actually a brilliant idea, it allows modders to have monetary gain for the work and effort for which they have put in and does not create any form of consumer vendor relationship which would otherwise impose responsibilities for the modder!

In response to post #24578554. #24578854, #24579349 are all replies on the same post. => https://steamcommunity.com/app/72850/discussions/0/611704730313333429/ When I posted this 6 mins ago OP wasn't banned, and now he is. I have no problem with modders getting paid for their work, because they should be! But being paid comes with responsibilities which no body seems to want to uphold.

=> https://steamcommunity.com/app/72850/discussions/0/611704730313333429/ This is the reason why introduction a paywall is an incredibly stupid idea. I don't know if Chesko meant to steal the work of others or whether it was just an oversight on his behalf, but seeing as he is a prominent modder I am going to give him the benefit of the doubt because I still appreciate the time and effort he put in to his mods. Nevertheless, if Valve is to take a 75% profit from the modders then Valve should owe both modders and gamers alike an active responsibility to verify and authenticate mods before they are published and to provide support for the mods. Modders not providing support for mods are acceptable because they are not receiving any monetary gains for their work and are only distributing them as is for the general populace to use for the sake of enjoyment. However once a modder receives monetary gains then they have an active responsibility to ensure that their mod is in working order and that further support is provided to ensure that the mod is working. Contrary to donations which are in part largely voluntary, do not create a relation of Vendor and Purchaser. In addition, the Steam Workshop has a reputation of being a cesspool for every average Joe to take the work of others and upload them first. Introducing a paywall will only create incentive for those to continue stealing the works of others. The modding community have already seen the loss of many a modders due to the stealing of work, but never have they been for monetary value.

I do not understand paying for a mod, I understand that some modders out there put alot of time into their work and I appreciate them as such. However by introducing a paywall for mods is a horrendously bad idea. It will create a floodgate for every John to just upload mods for money regardless of whether they are fixed of bugs or will continue to update the mod. Though of course modders have no real responsibilities to continue to work on a mod or to further develop them, but that is not true once a paywall is introduced. Not to mention that numerous modders have left the community due to others uploading their work on the Steam Workshop. Introducing a paywall will only create incentive to steal others work and upload them first

OMG thank you! This fixed it for me as well!
