In response to post #24571814. #24571869, #24571909 are all replies on the same post. The GECK/CK haven't been touched for years. It doesn't warrant Bethesda a reward. The monetary cost of maintaining Steam is rock bottom low so it doesn't warrant Valve such a high amount. This is a raw deal for modders who are doing the real work. I implore modders everywhere to give the Steam Workshop the cold shoulder here on out, its starting to become bad for consumers and modders alike. And I agree with Laxe fully.

What has me really angsty is that Valve think it and Bethesda are entitled to a majority cut for doing NOTHING at all, whilst the mod developer only get a mere 25%(A.K.A scraps). If you're going to monetise mods(if its the only way which it isn't), do it on external sites like Nexus Mods. Don't let the swollen mass that is Valve suck up all of the money, those lazy charlatans haven't deserved any real money for years, they haven't worked for it. I beg all of you talented modders, don't give in to Valve. Take part in donation based services which don't force a purchase on the consumer but give them the opportunity to contribute to youu work. I've been on this site for 2-3 years now and the work I see from you and other modders is simply amazing. Stick it to Valve and Bethesda. If you cave and give in, Valve will one day control the modding scene and great community places like the Nexus will cease to exist because that's what Valve does. They're actually taking the freedoms of PC gaming away and are delivering us a console vision. Nobody wants to be trapped with Valve. Thanks for reading.
