Quick updates to the site, money money money edition

Many youtubers Make Money with third party content.

 

Making gameplays and revealing all possible spoilers.

 

Do you think that's fair?

 

I have finished many games just watching youtube.

I've been going site to site, spreading the petition, fighting the good fight, and now I'm starting to feel betrayed and angry because I just found out about this. U'd feel the same too.

Nexus receives up to 5% of Valve's part for each mod sold, if the mod author has listed the Nexus as a service provider. This is something that Nexus agreed to. In other words, Nexus has signed a contract with Valve and is supporting the new economy around mods.

What's next ?

It's not hidden, it's on their service provider listing at the bottom of this page, which explains how it works. Mod authors select service providers who they think helped them in their modding, and in turn, the service provider gets between 1%-5% of Valve's cut of their profits, depending on how many service providers were picked by the mod author.

So the mod author opts in to it themselves, and the money comes from Valve's cut.

Why should I believe anything you say?

Shouldn't you have all your cards on the table (and on the table here, on your site, not buried in Valve's legal writings) if you really want to help everyone get through this to a peaceful conclusion?

EDIT: thinking about I guess it's like the modders are donating instead of paying you, still I'm sure not everyone will see it that way

Eiries wrote: Hm. I guess its not a huge deal on the surface (modders opt in), but I feel any money generated from this scandal is dirty money, and playing any part of it at all is kind of questionable.

Then again it's coming out of Valve's pocket as a community-based "thanks for existing..." I dunno. I'll trust your judgement I suppose.

You should make things clear Dark0ne, or people will start to think you're a two faced liar. (I don't, just to be clear)

soo...
if modder felt obligated to nexus then
the modder could make steam/valve give nexus 1-5% of their 75%, but
its up to the modder to gave it or not

at least that's what i catch from Dark0ne's post

i hope i interpret it right

and LtRhapthorne, if you could say "Why should I believe anything you(Dark0ne) say?" you shouldn't easily believe what modder from steam/valve have to say too, to be fair

and i'm not intend to start an argument Edited April 24, 2015 by mznXII

All hail the Dark 0ne, who doth rush to aid his citizens in the wake of the calamity forced upon us by the Kingdom of Steam.

 

Sing the song of the Nexus, without whose protection we would not exist today.

 

So sayeth, in the Book of Robin.

LtRhapthorne, your whistleblowing is getting ridiculous. Maybe you ought to sit this one out.

He's listed as a service provider on the Workshop, so modders can opt to give him 1%-5% of the money from the sale if I read correctly.
