That's kind of sad.

Folks are pissed. The ability to spew what you like is very easy on the internet. That said, the execution may be off base but, the message is clear.

I don't think this is a good thing and I believe it was more of valves decision than Bethesda. I do understand charging for mods that are unbelievably huge, with all new weapons, armor, locations, map, and characters that are fully voice acted. But I do think they should have a choice! That is ridiculous! Paying money to modify files that you legally own???? No that is not okay.

Can you offer us protection from mod thefts?

Steam workshop is already full of game rips from other games...

 

Will nexus provide help against these things like with that russian site reuploding our mods?

@FiendishGhoul...I've seen some of the virulent language here on Nexus as well. Certainly not as bad as on Steam, but it's there. Expect to see a lot of ban reports coming in today.

Well.. Wet and Cold uses SKSE assets en have no persmission to be Sold.

It's a major flaw in the system.

Also, I trust the community to make this work out!

igorlipinski wrote: I wouldn't even mind paying for mods if the modders got the money for themselves and the mods add something relevant to the game... But 1€ for a mod that adds 1 sword to the game? Also, the fact that most of the money will likely go to Valve is ridiculous and shows that the move has nothing to do with supporting modders and instead aims to stuff GabeN's wallet even more... Valve is proving once again that they have no idea how to interact with the community...

FiendishGhoul wrote: Yeah, at least one of the comments I read over on Steam was beyond despicable and that's ridiculous.

Feeling disenfranchised is one thing, but escalating to hideous threatening language is completely uncalled for.

I'm glad the community here is showing, for now, that we're above such things.

FiendishGhoul, it is sad indeed that people bash modders for taking their mods out of Nexus (although I still think it's not exactly nice from the mod authors to pull the mods just like that, especially since there's quite a lot of people that can't afford paying for 200 mods, especially with prices for most being 1€+) but I do think the Valve deserve all the s#*! they are getting, since it's not the first time where they went against the community, it's enough to mention all the "updates" and "fixes" to CS:GO.. Also, if the shares are like you mentioned in OP (and I doubt they'd settle for less than 50% of the money), it's despicable that they try to cover up their greed with this talk of supporting the modders... If they wanted to support modders, they would only charge a small fee for the sake of breaking even for hosting the mods on their servers and administrative stuff...

I feel like skyrim is way too old to be asking to pay for mods. Maybe if it was 2012 that would've worked to an extent, but I feel like now it's just gonna kill skyrim.

 

I've played skyrim for 1800hours total and there's simply no way I would pay for my mods unless the mod is a DLC sized mods with new armor/weapon/locations/stories/npc/voice acted etc.

 

There's no way I would pay each mod individually to get a decent IU, decents sounds, fixes, overhauls, retextures, armors/weapon sets, interesting followers etc for a 4 years old games on which ive 1800 hours on. There's also no way I would be playing skyrim without these because skyrim sucks without mods.

I would end up uninstalling skyrim and I dunno... play ESO and act like it's immersive and interesting maybe?

Yeah the people who use the workshop clearly don't want to actually do something about it.
