Moneytising mods, from the ground up is nothing compared in trying to moneytise a establish mod community of a game. Everbody forgets that until now the entire modding of Fallout3/ES was a creating, sharing learning in a open source enviorment. If you throw money into it its over. IF they start monetizing mods with Fallout 4 from the start, i think the problems would be less, atleast between modders, but dont expect any miracles. And the "Turn on the community" you are talking about modders that pulled free mods and asked for money behind a paywall for updates.

I am more worried about the general direction. Every modder that puts his "mod" as a buyable product isnt a modder anymore. He is a User Generated Content creator, with a pretty bad pay. Modding was always a community effort, creating, sharing, learning. Now money is involved. This changes everything. Didnt we had quality mods before? Sure and we had alot of "bad" mods unfinished ect. But that will NOT change with this paid mod thing....if at all it will get worse. I cant argue agains modder trying to take some kind of compensation for their hard work, but a paywall? The next thing leaving the modders aside, i hope it will only be "doom and gloom" but we know how the DLC dilemma started, is there a market they get away with it, and we know what consequences we got from that. Now they start offering modders to be paid slaves for Beth right now its optionall, but that was of course only logical it would be to hard to DRM mods backwards. Fallout 4 is about to be announced, and its not a coincidence that this shitstorm was started before Fallout 4 was announced. Do you really think when Beth starts monetising the work of OTHERS they will tolerate any competition? I fear we will see that Beth says again how they will "Support" modding behind a paywall were most of the profit goes to Beth after they released a buggy/shitty console port for a game that will AGAIN depend on modders to get fixed, the best part they dont even pay a single $ for the fixxed noooo even better THEY get paid and DONT even have to work for it, because "modder" no excuse UGC-Programers will push out small "mods" in order to fix a broken game in hope to get some payment... I stop here...i just get angry when i think about it...

Is Steam/Valve wanted to "support modders, they would add a donation button to any mod that is being uploaded to steam works. Right now not modders monetise their work, its simple Valve that will monetize your mods and throwing you a bone as thanks for your hard work.
