I've taken the time to read it, albeit it was rushed, forgive me if I had read/understood some stuff wrongly.
First, thank you for clearing the issue with the provider thing. Many of us were confused by this, and I trust this matter is now settled.
Secondly, I hope that you have learned a lesson here, which is to communicate effectively and efficiently information that would likely be controversial in the future.
Thirdly, the last quote of the article I think is what many of us fear. I understand the argument that modders want to get paid and stuff, but looking at this issue long-term, it would lead to the end of free modding. Honestly, I haven't seen any counter arguments about this, please tell me if you have any info on this.
The fact is, with where modern gaming has been going on these few years, with day 1 dlcs, cosmetic dlcs, buggy launches, and so many more, people are expecting the worst.
Thank you for writing this article, and you have my support on the fight against free modding.
