The main problem with the paid mods deal for Skyrim was how the earnings were split, and how the mods were *cough* weren't *cough* policed. If the mod authors had received a bigger slice of the pie, and the system moderated, I doubt the backlash would have been as severe. I've heard the "I have over [insert number here] mods" rant before and I don't buy it.(No pun intended) It has some validity, but not much. Most people probably wouldn't use the system. I say probably because I just don't know. And I think that's what scares people on the subject. It's an unknown and people are scared all mod makers will start charging......I don't think it will happen simply due to how modding communities have worked for all these years. I'd like to see it back in a way. When you think about the possible size and quality of the mods that could emerge with such a system......it's a very tempting idea. It would also give an incentive for mod makers to devote more of their time towards modding. It would also give people reason to get into many of the things needed to make mods. Scripting, coding, art design, acting, the list goes on. And they'd be able to do it without being tied to a game studio......which is another thing I hear as an argument. Personally, if it did come back I would definitely give mod making some serious thought. Why not make a living doing what you love to do after all. Would certainly beat the hell out of my factory job.
