The main problem here is that people targeted the wrong targets, well, they targeted the easy/most vulnearble part, the mod authors... and many will keep buying games via Valve and Bethesda while name-calling mod authors... I'd like to see each and every one of those, just for a day having the skills Chesko and many other mods authors have proven to have and receive an e-mail from Valve and Bethesda with that (in my opinion and from the outside, scam of a deal) and see what would they do. Has anyone tried to put in Chesko's (or any other mod author) shoes? Yes they are other mod authors that haven't agreed to the deal, but what do people know about the mod authors that accepted the deal? What do they know about their families, their bills to pay, their economic situation? What about the dreams they may have? Thinking about the possibility of joining a real gaming company? Te possibility of eventually being proposed a job to do what they love? THIS IS MADNESS!! A SACRILEGE!! Well, this reaction it's understandable if you choose randomly a mod and see the ratio "endorsements/downloads" or "thank comment/downloads"... and better not to even think about the ratio "donations/downloads"... Anyway, all this doesn't matter, mod authors are people that spend time, efforts and work to make mods. I think any person who spends their own time and efforts to produce anything is in his/her right to decide if he/she wants to be paid for that. So many filling their mouths with "I'd definitely pay for that mod!" and when this happens... we all have seen the truth during the last days.(No, the cut is not an excuse for many many many sick behaviours) People keep pointing mod authors, but they weren't the ones who had the idea, they aren't the ones that see the entire community as cows to milk "We think the communities you support on Nexus offer a ton of value to mod-makers and customers" (by Valve) I don't like to have to pay for mods, in fact I will not pay for any mod (with that s..t of a deal where just giving you a table to show the result of your efforts and time spent they keep 75%), If the free mods eventually disappear, which I doubt, I won't buy any other Bethesda game because, in my opinion, without mods Bethesda's games are a failure. Horrible designs, full of bugs, and sorry but in my case, after two minutes of dialog I get bored. I won't buy any more games from Steam, I'll try to find them in other game suppliers, buy the physical game, that's what I will do and it surely won't be nothing to those companies that see us as cattle, in their own words "mod-makers and c u s t o m e r s" to milk. But I will keep respecting and admiring those mod authors that have the skills to make mods regardless of having (or not) been proposed a deal that may feed their dreams. Chesko, I don't think you will read this, but anyway, I'm sorry for what have happened, keep chasing your dreams whatever they may be, and specifically about modding do what you think you have to do, mod for yourself, stop modding, have your time and come back to share your great works with us, it's up to you... (ironic mode [ON]) but don't worry too much, because you know, you only have to share a new mod for free and you will see that the most of those who are treated you like the worst criminal and are here still being critic with you and demanding something from you (although I am still trying to find a reason that may give them the right to demand anything from you) you will see the most of them (if not all) will forgive you... and everything will be tea and cookies for ever and ever :). at least for them, because the damage they may have done to you, you know that's irrelevant.
