Not to mention, if I'd pay for a mod, then I would want the mod to work - which means that Steam Workshop needs to start providing adequate tools and support there aswell.

Untill such a time as that starts happening - they do not deserve this financial split.

i would never pay for content not created by the developers of the game not matter how good it is.

 

also not every one who downloads mods keep them ,we like to test them first and if we like them we keep it if we don't we uninstall it and delete them.

 

a paywall make it very difficult to even wanting to try a mod because we might not like it and end up being ripped off.

And probably provide superior customer support aswell.

Just ask anyone who has ever had problems with Steam Early Access on how good Valve is at providing support...


This makes sense.

Welcome to capitalism, brother.

valve is being very generous in that department

boulegue wrote: the nexus is probably not able to give bethesda a share or bethesda is simply not interested in it and partnered with valve


And this why self publishing books and indie record labels are all the rage now. So too should it be with mods, IMO.

It wouldn't even be a few cents per download. More like 1/30th of a cent per download.

If authors do it like Chesko did I actually don't have a problem with it. His model is that he is going to release mods behind a paywall on Workshop and then while the mod is being bugtested and updated it will remain there. When it is stable it will be released on the Nexus for free. I am fine with this as I have waited for many mods to be released so it won't really affect me. Also I tend to wait for mods to get the bugs sorted out anyways before I download them. Edited by nathanj
