Would you say that very same thing to a doctor who is passionate about their work? Do you think just because they're paid that not all of them have a desire to make people feel better? That they're only in it for the money? What about the person who became a nurse because as a child they had a family member who was sick & wanted to make things right? Now that they're getting paid for healing would you call them selfish? This can be applied to many other hobbies where people are paid for doing what they love. Other examples are car modding, fish-keeping (esp Salties/SW), house improvement/reselling, etc. Money moves the world. Imagine your favourite modders out there not having to get a job they loathe, but instead put 100% of their 9-5 (and more) into making the very mods you love. They get paid, can buy healthy(ier) meals, maybe a gym membership (or new sneakers) to offset all that sitting time, maybe even upgrades to their computer/microphone/etc so that they can bring in better quality mods in the future. A lot of folks seem to think modders making money are going to buy yachts & drop quality of their mods. Some will, and more reputable ones will take their place. Some want to get paid for their passion. Others like giving away their time & money. That's fine. But that's their personal choice. I want to add, I don't think Valve/Bethesda did this right. They should never have messed with an already old game in an established modding community. They should have done this with a new game & let us get our feet wet (as modders & tryers) without fear of losing our beloved mods from drama and re-selling. They failed, they were burned in the process, but they'll try again. Like every other paid hobby, paid-for-mods are inevitable & it's up to us to form some solid guidelines for them of what we will & will not allow - as a whole community of paid-for and freebie modders. Just my $0.02. Hopping out.
