In response to post #27894064. #27929214 is also a reply to the same post. DA: I all over again. :)

If publishers can come together with modding websites and create a youtube structure, then modders (who are good) can get pain through the same means that youtubers get paid. I don't trust Vavle, and after this I don't think anyone especially modders should either. My hope is that it between the publishers and sites like Nexus, with no middle man like Vavle to make this happen. I believe modes should continue to be free, but people have to understand that we live in a new era where now an artist from all forms of art can get paid now. I think anyone who artistically gifted should have the opportunity to turn what they love to do as a 9 - 5, and be their own boss. As for the disrespect towards modders, that was unnecessary. I don’t blame modders for taking down there mods, and thinking twice about supporting a community that had no problem joining a firing squad to take you down. I hope things can go back to where it was, but only time will tell. At the end of the day, the one company that people really need to be mad at, which isn’t getting hit enough right now is Vavle. The mod community vs modders thing that going right now is giving them an easy pass to sneak away from the drama, and plan their next move.

First time commenter. I with TotalBiscuit. I believe modders deserve to be paid, but not with this model. I respect Bethesda and the Nexus community, and hope some where down the line they can create a system where modders can actually make a living modding, and still keep it free like the youtube model.
