Now strap in for future games to only have mods available exclusively through Steam. All of this was the absolute perfect setup for that.

We have a voice!

Hurray! The program is done. That said, maybe we should start supporting our mod authors financially of our own volition more frequently.

 

This whole debacle has really made me consider what mods I *would* have paid for without complaint. I think I'm going to donate to those mod authors. (Which is sad, you know? It took something explosive like this to make me consider donating...)

Removing Payment Feature From Skyrim Workshop

 

We're going to remove the payment feature from the Skyrim workshop. For anyone who spent money on a mod, we'll be refunding you the complete amount. We talked to the team at Bethesda and they agree.

 

We've done this because it's clear we didn't understand exactly what we were doing. We've been shipping many features over the years aimed at allowing community creators to receive a share of the rewards, and in the past, they've been received well. It's obvious now that this case is different.

 

To help you understand why we thought this was a good idea, our main goals were to allow mod makers the opportunity to work on their mods full time if they wanted to, and to encourage developers to provide better support to their mod communities. We thought this would result in better mods for everyone, both free & paid. We wanted more great mods becoming great products, like Dota, Counter-strike, DayZ, and Killing Floor, and we wanted that to happen organically for any mod maker who wanted to take a shot at it.

 

But we underestimated the differences between our previously successful revenue sharing models, and the addition of paid mods to Skyrim's workshop. We understand our own game's communities pretty well, but stepping into an established, years old modding community in Skyrim was probably not the right place to start iterating. We think this made us miss the mark pretty badly, even though we believe there's a useful feature somewhere here.

 

Now that you've backed a dump truck of feedback onto our inboxes, we'll be chewing through that, but if you have any further thoughts let us know.

 

Looks like that was it.

 

I thank everyone who stood up against this terrible "experiment". Now let's see how we can clean up the mess and return to everyday business.

Well that was fast...
