An update for a mod is basically something that has additional content, whether it's adding a new color to an object, or a new word, anything that wasn't previously there. This rule you're posting applies to fixing stuff in a mod as well, you're basically providing additional support when you fix things in a mod you're hosting.

Providing no support would pretty much mean leaving the mod open for everyone else to fix without the author's help or answer questions about the mod after releasing the update.

Technically speaking I'd say yes, this does apply to that.

Hello, I made the FCO mod. Just going to make it clear here and now: I will never charge for my mods through Steam workshop. If anything this entire fiasco is only incentivizing me pulling out of Steam workshop entirely; it's absolutely appalling.

I will not pay for a single mod.

midas magic is a fully working mod why would you take it away from people that want to use it?

I agree and disagree. old/outdated or not, leaving them here available for free is definitely to the benefit of the community.

If I have to pay a fortune just to experiment with mods... I never would have gotten into modding to begin with.

Agreed I would never have even dropped $2000 on a gaming rig if I didn't get into modding

Fun while it lasted, but now way I'll ever pay for an amature mod. Sorry folks.

Funny thing. I got suspended for a week on steam because I did leave a comment I dont like the idea of mods being paid. So now I cant rate or comment anything for a week. I feeling like a person who is going to vote and he either votes for someone he dosnt want or goes to prison for a week until the voting is done... Anyone had same problem?

I love all mod authors and wish I had something to give them that I don't believe will fundamentally poison the well. I hope they don't go down this road, although that is ultimately in their hands.
