It's not possible for this to have a positive impact on modding. this will do nothing but destroy the community that has been built up for all these years. yes some will remain but it will not ever be the same.

Just looked at one of the mods files on there, it included an armour with no weight scaling or world ground models. I wouldn't download it if it was free.

you can just change the wording to free to use for non-commercial use or w/e but if you say its free to use then its free to use

what of modders who dont know that or ignore it and do it anyways?

Why would you want to support having to pay for something that used to be free? Donations are fine, but an enforced price point? It is filthy, and is only going to kill the community.

Just wait for the day people start selling "Bug Fixes" and the like.

 

Skyrim bug fix patch package for only 11.99$!

I completely forgot about the theft angle. That was already a pretty big problem, now I imagine it's going to balloon massively. Ugh.

Who came riding to Steam Workshop from ole Nexus Mods

And the greedy pig did swagger and brandish his goods
As he told of great mods and dlc's he had made

(longer pause)

But then he went quiet, did Greedy the Pig
When he met the Sane Customer, who said;

(shorter pause)

"Oh, you talk and you lie and you charge ridiculous prices
Now I think it's high time that you sit down and bleed profits!"

(pause)

And so then came clashing and slashing of wits
As the brave Sane Customers charged in, full of zeal

(pause)

And the braggart named Greedy the Pig was modding no more-
When his ugly name was blacklisted around on the internet!

lol
