Still, assuming you are in fact correct, this can lead to an utter shut-down of modding. Rather let me clarify-it can make some modders vanish as they will no longer release mods on the Nexus in lieu of $$$$$ on STEAM. That would piss me off to no end as this site/community is the best on the internet for all your gaming needs. Edited by Reaper0021

This idea will kill modding for sure, becasuse the invention of a mod is mostly a community thing. As a modder you need the feedback, to improve a mod.

I still cannot beleive they are SO stupid, to force paying and making a paywall. Donations, yes, paywall, no.

The steam workshop is dead for me now. I have to save the important mods on my HD now, because steam is ruining modding.

They f*#@ it up like gaming, with micro-DLC, paid betas called "early access" and "Preorder". All the ideas of a sick brain, eaten up by greed.


they dont force you to charge for the mod it's totally optional and every modder has to decide for themselves

I don't give a damn if your popular or not. You mod. I respect you. And I applaud you and thank you from the bottom of my old heart for caring at all.

I just think it would be really silly to charge for a single armor mod,

 

If you make a full on questline mod that adds a lot of things than I wouldnt mind buying it, but, an armor ?

 

that is just nah

 

I hope the community stay launching free mods for the coomunity, and, if they think one of their mods is worth it, then I wouldn't mind buying it

So if, for instance, a mod costs $5 (cough wet and cold), the author will only be getting $1.25. But, thinking that, this could also be an incentive to charge large amounts of money for mods, just so authors can get a decent "cut".

IMO though, this whole thing is ridiculous, £2 for a mod? Most of my damn PC games cost me £3.50.

pretty sure they got a "little" extra from valve
