Chesko made some bad decisions, but he doesn't deserve harrassment and death threats. Such horrible behaviour on display by some people.

Please watch a couple of documentaries on the financial crash and see if you still have the stance that money makes the world go round.

I read what you wrote and I can only giggle that you have lowered yourself to calling me "stupid" LoL

You can fool all the kids here but anyone with real business and life experience sees right through you.

If I am stupid because I don't take your words at face value then so be it... I am a stupid person who drives a Super Snake and I am laughing at how stupid you may think I am.

Basically you are still supporting Pay-for-Mods just that you are calling it by a different name. Many modders like Emma (I guess you think she is stup[id too now eh? Remember her, yoiur old friend who helped you with your uploaded system all thiose years ago?) also believe that this is wrong in every aspect... but I guess we are just stupid.

I can't really tell youwhat I think of you because hey, I'm in an unfair possition where you are able to swing insults but I can't.

Congratulations! *Applause* Edited by Psijonica

Thank you for the explanation. I know right now the plans for the funds are to upgrade the forum servers, then a programmer, mobile friendly site, etc. Perhaps one thing to consider with this money source would be to protect the modders. Steam itself is not going to police for stolen mods, and there are rumors there that Workshop authors can delete and limit comments themselves, which destroys community policing. If Steam stays on this course and the system grows, maybe the Nexus could use this pocket change Steam tosses them to pay someone, part-time or whatever, to scan the Workshop for stolen mods and resources.

 

Otherwise popular free mod authors are going to have to check the Workshop constantly to catch their stolen work. Really this is Steam's responsibility, but if they continue this system and neglect it, the Nexus could take up the slack as a goodwill gesture to the modders.

 

It might be beneficial for the Nexus to use its current positive relationship with Steam to open the talks of setting up an official channel, employee, whatever, for the Nexus to report stolen content to Steam for removal.

It seems to me he's only being "transparent" NOW that it's out in the open. Had Chesko (who I'm not at all happy with, either) not made his statement, would we even have known about this?

 

I'm not as miffed about his non-disclosure as how he tried to spin it like he "predicted" this was going to happen. He knew exactly what was happening. He had already been contacted and had already accepted the bag of silver, then two days ago nonchalantly typed "Hey look, one of my predictions came true!" like he had some great amount of foresight and wisdom. THAT doesn't sit well with me at all.

 

At any rate, this isn't my website, it's Robin Scott's. It's his to do with as he sees fit, and like everyone else here I am bound to comply with his rules, provided I even continue to download mods from this site (which I haven't since this controversy began, and honestly I'm in no mood whatsoever to even think about mod testing or playing Skyrim right now).

 

All I can say is that if it WERE my website, there's no chance in Hell I'd be accepting money from the company who is poised to torpedo that site, the modding hobby, my livelihood, my way of life, and my place in the gaming community. At this point, I'd be distancing myself as far away from that company as possible, expressing my displeasure LOUDLY at the forefront of the movement that's organizing against paid mods, and not tiptoeing around in the shadows whispering "I just don't think it's a good idea guys" like Milton from Office Space. Not doing so suggests that perhaps he is afraid of Valve. Shrug, that's not for me to say.

 

At any rate, it's clear Dark0ne doesn't think he's done anything wrong, and that he feels he has nothing to be sorry for. He doesn't feel like he's betrayed the community he is supposed to protect, or that it's in no way hinky that that he's taking kickbacks...I mean proceeds from Valve. And it's clear he feels like he's standing on firm moral high ground.

 

I just don't think anything we, the modding community try to say or do is going to change that. So honestly, I wouldn't waste too much energy trying to do so.

"ZERO IMPACT ON YOUR ABILITY TO LIVE."

Which means it has a very limited shelf life, and as expenses such as housing, medical and other necessities have gone up, people are quitting gaming because they can't afford it anymore. I quit gaming for this exact reason. Many others are too. Yes it is a rough area to navigate and it's not like many of us don't understand why the decision is made, but many of us are also aware that the bottom line of this system will be "Fork over more cash," or leave. that is what happens when your bottom line is profit (Which is the case for most large companies) If one must choose between gaming or hospital, most are going to choose hospital.

The people who this will hurt, are the sharers and the hobbyist those that do this stuff for free just because they want to share. I know that in this day in time it's crazy but those people are out their. If history is any marker, Bethesda and Value will find a way to make it to where any form of free modding is considered illegal by act of piracy and if you want to mod, you either mod in the name of the company, or you don't mod at all.

The one upside I see for this is that we may see people start making games, (After all if I'm being forced to start from scratch, I might as well just make my own game.)

sorry for the long rank. Just don't make the mistake of thinking everybody who can't afford to fork over cash is a freeloader that feels that these people are obligated to provide their content for free. Just don't be surprised when some people are hurt that they can no longer support the author they love simply because they can physically not afford to.
