I will never pay for your mods on Steam, and I will no longer test or endorse your mods on Nexus. Please be understanding of this decision. I did not make it lightly.

Draugas wrote: You reposted so I'll repost ;p
This isn't just for you, but any modder considering this.

I'm not going to say whether or not I agree, I wish you luck.

But.

I do think you do yourself a diservice by choosing to do this *now*.

This is new, people are in an uproar, Valvthesda is exploiting modders with the percentage (opinion).

Are the potential repercussions worth putting your mod up on day two of the storm?

Now its my descision to tell people NOT to get it.

Even though no ones buying them anyways

For those of us modders who have made clear we will never, ever remove or limit our Nexus mod versions, why doesn't it fly with you if I let some well-off Steam users pay me a meager fee?

My main concern is the payout ratio since it is so one-sided.

"My main concern is the payout ratio since it is so one-sided. "

Then your decision should be pretty clear and simple. You want to earn more than 25%. Tell it as it is.

No sooner had I logged out that I got half a dozen text messages letting me know "SKYUI IS GOING PAYWALL ERMAGERD!!!!" effectively forcing every single one of us to buy into this horsecrap moving forward.

Unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable.

I won't be moving forward and buying ANYTHING. I'll put Skyrim down for the long cold sleep before I do it. Millions for defense, not ONE penny for tribute!

If getting paid lead to better quality anything we would not have a 90% crap turn over for DLC, and season pass ripoffs. We would not have sequels and new IP's that rip people off because most big review sites get paid to write positive reviews. All money does is separate people it makes us competitive instead of cooperative it makes people not want to give trade secrets to keep an edge, it makes them not even want to make a guide much less a free program to allow modding to begin will.

This whole idea of Some modders saying the content would have not been done without the pay model is complete hogwash. For every person that uses that copout there are 10 more that possibly did not publish because they where afraid their asset, methods or concepts would be taken.

This one here with the incentive, it's also not your content sure you may have made something but you are adding to other peoples work not creating a complete stand alone product and if you use fnis,skse,niftools etc etc etc you can count on the fact you are stepping on someones toes and violating someones work and or GPL agreement. but you think it is a motivator it is also a huge obligation to be up at 3am because of a small bug for what $25.00 i doubt that will be sufficient motivation once that pizza is gone.

After getting over 50 comments and messages and many respectful responses I have changed my mind and will keep all of my mods free and Nexus exclusive. I trust Nexus staff to have a good solution to this problem.
