IvirtualDragonI Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Do not buy ANY mods under ANY circumstance, let's earn Valve nothing off this bulls*** until they are forced to stop charging. Simply revolt by not paying, f*** them.Unfortunately some ppl (may be game developers or journalists) have already subscribed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDProductions83 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Funny thing about this is the % rateEpic gives you a multimillion dollar engine and only asks 5%Bethesda and steam 75% for the CK... everybody pack your bags were going back to the late 1800's to get exploited!

Isilmeriel Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) So much bad rep for a meager 25%, who would do that :S Edited April 23, 2015 by Isilmeriel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jovalleau Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 On a related note, I saw the use of some free mods in the workshop screenshots of those paid mods. I wonder if the authors of the former can hold the latter liable for using their creation in advertising without permission.I questioned this as well on the Bethesda forums. False advertisements, anyone?

Even SKSE and SkyUI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeastGevaudan Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 What worries me more is that future Bethesda Games will have modding tools that lock all mods to Steam Workshop. Sure "Free" will still be an option, but when you know for a fact that no one can use the mod unless they get it from the Workshop ... well now why not click that "paid" button right? Bleak days ahead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImperialWanderer Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I absolutely 100% refuse to pay for ANY mod WHATSOEVER. This is not what modding is supposed to be.  Valve is turning mods into no-quality-guaranteed DLC. What an age when we're forced to pay for MODS for Christ's sake.  I sincerely hope the SKSE team comes out against this "pay4mod" garbage. If they get a GNU License then that will stop these scumbags from profiting off their hard work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeastGevaudan Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 The easiest way for them to turn this TERRIBLE idea into a good one is just make every "paid" mod REQUIRE a $0 option. Because if you could choose to get every single mod for free then it's no big deal to have a suggested price that people can pay if the mod is good.They say this pay system will encourage better mods, but it will just do the opposite. It will encourage garbage that people can make a quick buck off of by having a mod "appear" awesome and then be terrible. As long as they can get past the 24 hours it's profit for them.The $0 option I mentioned above WOULD actually encourage better mods because your mod could be acquired and used for free, but if you made a really good qulaity mod people could pay by simply clicking a button in steam. Hell they could even pay you with their left over money from selling cards on the marketplace :P. As it stands forcing payment is sleazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruntin Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 My chief concern is content creators pulling mods from the Nexus, and selling their work on the Workshop exclusively. I believe a "Donate" button on the workshop would be far more appropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
