Edit: i have to state that, yes i know 5.0 is going to steam, but he has assured us that MCM will not change, so you do not need to update.

And then the sky UI team will threaten them with lawyers...

I've subscribed to help promote Nexus. Thanks for providing me with so much fun, boys and girls.

Oh god i hope this does not ruin/divide modding in some way. Cause that would be the saddest thing to ever happen to pc gaming imo.

The modding community is already kinda divided, and the shitstorm is not over.

Coming soon : lawsuits between modders.

Thank you Beth and Valve.

I actually disabled my adblock for this site just because of the workshop incident.

I will never pay for mods. I refuse to support Steam, Valve or Bethesda in this idiotic money grab. From this day forward I will only work with Nexusmods. I understand completely why some authors here on Nexus will or have removed their mods. It makes me sad. But I will get the best mods I can that are available from Nexus and be thankful for them. I don't care what mods are uploaded to steam, free or paid, I will never use them.

 

This is the most idiotic move by a company since New Coke. I hope both Valve and Bethesda lose their shirts in this with lawsuits or whatever. I am so mad I could just spit *patooie*

Money should not be a requirement to get access to user-made content.

This is not a job or a profession, it's a passion-driven hobby. Monetizing it destroys the very thing it's built upon -- love for the game and community.

its the modders choice, not yours nor mine. So while I agree this is stupid, there really isn't much of a stance we even can take.

personally I think this is corporate greed at its worse. I hope valve drowns for this... Bethesda, well... I need them around a bit longer for some more awesome games. Edited April 25, 2015 by El`derina

the TOS for the paid workshop gives you 24 hours to request your money back if the mod doesent function properly i assume that a mod that was stolen from the nexus without the authors permission would also be grounds for a refund

Except that Valve still keeps the steam wallet cash that you charged with real money.

Either or Valve wins regardless if the Modder gets shafted or not

Perhaps any mod that is no longer maintained here but is updated on Steam should be moved to a different section on the search results. I don't like how some mods like realistic textures aren't even available here any more, yet still show up with all their endorsements.
