In response to post #24572229. #24572259 is also a reply to the same post. its only piracy if the mods are uploaded without the permission of the Aurthur for free. really, they are free to make it paid for on steam and free here, they own the files. but its pretty silly to expect that to happen.

In response to post #24571334. #24571444, #24571634, #24571699 are all replies on the same post. making something that was free now have a charge is the same as changing the price of an item, you have now moved something that would previously been readily available to a higher tier, one that some who would have previously enjoyed said product will not be able to attain. you have just narrowed the market because you have excluded some from said product. also, when free, posting to both the Nexus and SteamWorkshop is not a hassle and allows for a broader reach, with the paid Mods being exclusive to steam you have narrowed the reachable audience. there is no way that this will not have a noticeable impact before summer hits.

In response to post #24570584. #24570764 is also a reply to the same post. Nexus is the reason I buy all my games. but I must say, that when I did in fact pirate, none of them ever gave me issues. its a scare tactic. one that works, but a scare tactic none the less. (if a moderator see's this and doubts i own w/e I'm happy to provide proof)

In response to post #24571334. #24571444 is also a reply to the same post. your taking something that's free and open and turning it into a closed market, that has never been good in all of history.

I know Nexus frowns on piracy, and that's all that this course of action is going to cause. piracy of mods. its gonna be real "fun" when people with the cash start buying paid for mods and uploading renamed versions of them here and moderators start scrambling trying to remove them all. only so much can be done through moderation. none of this bodes well.

In response to post #24571274. typical cowardly Steam tactics to be honest. you should write GabeN directly. Really, we all should.

It's not possible for this to have a positive impact on modding. this will do nothing but destroy the community that has been built up for all these years. yes some will remain but it will not ever be the same.

In response to post #24571079. #24571149 is also a reply to the same post. I agree and disagree. old/outdated or not, leaving them here available for free is definitely to the benefit of the community.

having to retry 4/5 times before the download works is not fixed. not trying to come off as a jerk its just annoying taking 10 mins to get a 5mb file. i saw better file hosting in the '90's
