It's an opt-in (as in it's up to the modder) 1%-5% (of valves cut) donation to the nexus.

I'm standing by Dark0ne on this. Throw stones if you wish, but I see a noble plan here.

Posting a review is not the gaming companies content, it is critique of their content and protected under Fair Use laws, commentated gameplay walkthroughs are under the same protection. Don't eat what certain companies try to feed you.

Yeah I understand this, but they are the leaders of this community and they are speaking out against it. You can't speak out against something while having money trickle in your back pocket simultaneously, even if your upfront about it. Your on one side or another.

So in other words, they can choose to give next to nothing. That is hardly a "partnership" with Valve/Bethesda- hell, its actually just as insulting as the 25% that mod authors get after selling $400 worth of profit, IF they sell $400 worth of profit, which they won't because why pay for something you can get for free, especially knowing the author will be lucky to see ANY of those sales?
