Say what you want... People like ME and the other Pitchforkers you demean. We're the primary reason that modding is back to being free and will probably remain so for the time being. Your welcome... By the way.

And my vitriol cannon is ready to fire at the pricks who try to usher it back in. This shows precisely why you don't just say... "Ho humm, there is nothing we can do." If that had been the reaction of the community at large... Paid modding would have been here to stay. But instead we said... "f*#@ you and f*#@ this." And lo and behold... Enough of us were pissed to actually get noticed.

In response to post #24733199. #24733474 is also a reply to the same post. Stop trying to ride the white horse here. Modders turncoated on the community with hilarious haste. Users responded in the way that an individual betrayed will always respond. And now that the dust is settled and the greedy have shown their true colors. (The fact that they don't give flying f*#@ about the community, just money.) Now that the paid modding has been vanquished and said greedy individuals have no recourse except to accept that they were completely happy in their betrayel. You try to paste the blame on the ones betrayed rather then the ones betraying... Ridiculous. I hope if one lesson has been learned from all this it is this... People will betray each other in a heartbeat when money is involved. The only modders who deserve any sympathy are the ones that were attacked by the greedy capitalist pushing pissants for not standing at the side of their fellow turncoats. Sorry if I get banned for this comment... But it needed to be said.

Only time will tell if Paid modding returns in a Bethesda game. Maybe I'm an entitled asshole, but personally I hope it's gone forever. Good riddance.

Hahaha... I've always loved Bethesda games for their modding element. The idea that the game can have it's longevity extended nigh infinitely by the addition of several alterations to the core gameplay mechanics or content by dedicated modders. Of course one of my favorite elements to this system was that the games longevity from modding was free of charge, born out of passion and creativity, rather then out of some desire for material remuneration. This news makes me sad. It makes me sad that Modding is headed in this direction. It makes me sad that modders don't seem to realize they are just being exploited and heavily. It makes me sad that top tier mods I once downloaded freely like a giddy school child anxious to see all the cool nuances and elements of said mod will now cost me up to five dollars. Maybe I AM greedy, maybe I AM selfish... Wanting work that took someone hundreds of hours of work to complete for free. Maybe... Or maybe I just thought Modding was about more then making money. I thought it was about community and about sharing and showing off ones creativity. I thought Modding was about selfless creativity and passion... And it was. Until now. Until some fat worthless corporate bastard saw just how lucrative he could make modding for himself and his company... With practically nil effort involved on his part. I never saw Steam as a bad company, but they have slowly been changing my perception of them. Between their neglect their shortsightedness and yes their greed... Slowly but surely I'm starting to see Steam for what it is. I won't judge Modders for putting their works up for sale if they should choose to. I just hope they don't judge me for refusing to pay a single dime for something I once got free of charge. Because I'm not.

Oi! The everlasting quest to make everything idiot proof... I hate to be a downer, but making anything truly idiot proof is pretty much impossible. On the other hand I can understand a need to protect some of the more prolific modders from the ocean of stupid comments and inane bullshit they no doubt have to deal with on a day to day basis. Such is the life of a servant of the people. It's amazing anyone would want to subject themselves to the sense of entitlement and stupidity in the first place. Well... Good luck.

Read the whole thing. Yay. Been using the Nexus sites for a long time now. Been around for Oblivion, FO3, FNV and Skyrim. It's been a pleasure to watch the site grow and evolve. It's great that your finally able to branch out. With dedication to quality and community here's hoping the sites stay going strong for a long time to come.
