After getting over 50 comments and messages and many respectful responses I have changed my mind and will keep all of my mods free and Nexus exclusive. I trust Nexus staff to have a good solution to this problem.

This move from Bethesda and Valve got so much bad reputation in a short time that most of the good modders decided to stay out of the paid workshop, thought I think the ones that adhered to it shouldn't be judged by the community as long as they don't use resources from other free mods. Now it's up to the Steam users to police the uploaded content and report if something was stolen. Edited by fgambler

welp, good luck to you. I just unsubscribed from all Steam Workshop mods from all games supported and I don't plan on going back. I respect your hustle, but I don't agree at all with Valves implementation. And I do say best of luck, with good intentions, I am not being snarky or disingenuous.
Ciao

I stand with shadow on this..now even the mod users who agree with modders who would like to make a buck are being attacked.
And you are right about the donations..i have over a 100 mods and have only donated $20 to 1 modder...i plan on donating a bit to my favorite mods next week on payday.

Bravo, I hope my comment had a little input on things, but everyone should be thrilled that you made this change of heart. I only hope other modders do the same. Here is crossing finger and toes.

Silver is Silver: you knew beforehand and you participated instead of telling Valve to push off... so you'll get what you've earned.

I don't understand why modders are expecting to be paid for creating their mods, if they want to make money from their skills then they should get into game development not game modding. Modding a game has always been a community thing, has always been a way of people showing how much they care about a hobby not a way of making an entire living and even if you know your not going to make a living off modding then why do it in the first place? I'm sorry but i think if you get into modding to make money out of it then you shouldn't be modding in the first place.

 

I am speaking as a modeler working on Beyond Skyrim a project that is even bigger than Bethesda's base game and not asking for a single cent.

No worries Dark0ne.

A lot of information has been flying around everywhere and at the time I posted on my own forums I was still under the impression that you were dead set against the idea of modders making money. So apologies if I came off a bit harsh.

This thing with Chesko bugs me a lot more though. Moreso because he hasn't given everyone all the details as to what he should have expected upon pulling those mods down. We all knew ahead of time that those would be the terms. The mods would remain in the system for those who paid already. Only the author, Valve, and Bethesda can see them at that point. It was in the agreement, it's on the public FAQ, and we've known for 5-6 weeks now.

"The truly greedy ones are people who blindly oppose this, who've never in their life donated a single penny to actually support a modder, all because they want to continue getting stuff for free at the expense of someone else's time and energy."

Hahaha. Nobody is being greedy or entitled man. Nobody had to donate because it was never a charity. Sure people could if they wanted to, and I'm fine with that. However nobody has been stealing or taking or screwing over anybody until now. Nobody forced these modders to make anything and nobody could. Nobody needed to make free mods and nobody deserved free mods but look at that... this site was full of them.

I did nothing but sit on my butt and free stuff appeared. No entitlement. No greed.

Seriously?

As in, no sarcasm intended?

Then, I am glad you were able to see reason, friend. And besides, even if you do want to eventually be paid for your work, now is the worst possible time.

It would be like studying abroad in a country during a civil war.
