Steam Service Providers, and some how needing to clarify the Nexus stance again


Dark0ne

Recommended Posts

Well it sounds like a new modding website/community is needed...

 

Modders make mods for free and ultimately for the love of the game. Period. Many NEVER ask for "donations", only recognition. Of all the big mods I have seen on the Nexus (the mods that take up a lot of time to make) and small mods too, I have barely seen any author ever ask for any money. They only ask for their work to not be stolen and enjoyed by all.

 

These massive self righteous posts by "Dark0ne", sound like someone trying to cover up something and we are constantly asked to "read what he said because its true" and if you don't "read" his posts, you are branded an idiot by many members.

 

Somehow this site seems to make a stupid ammount of money (able to spend £250,000 for a "server update" lol what) and I find it funny that this site is able to hire someone at £20,000pa (which is a decent salary really for a very simple job) and yet say that this site couldnt exist unless you make a one off £1.29 "donation". Something is real fishy here.

 

I am sure that modders, members of this site and the people that drift through this site without accounts want to-the-point answers after all this drama recently.

Thanks for keeping this whole thing civil to the best of your abilities, and for keeping everyone in the loop as much as you can.

Seriously? Ad revenues make money for Nexus as do donations and memberships and.....oh why bother your just another damn Conspiracy Theorist with his mind made-up. Go somewhere else then and good luck.

I personally would not be able to tolerate the crap you guys and gals have to deal with from the entitled, whilst offering your work for free... let alone trying to please them if they were actually a customer.

Good faith??? Are you kidding me? Chesko SIGNED OVER HIS MODS TO VALVE AND BETHESDA

He has no one to blame. I have been beating the drum against this very thing since i heard about paid modding. Now that beth has your mod, and they make money off of it, they may see it beneficial to issue DMCA to the free versions or copy cats.

Everyone wants to talk about money this and money that. If Steam had a more fair payout, i wouldn't really care. It's going to cause massive problems, it already has, but the issues of liability, i.e. who's responsible when the mod you paid for breaks your game, and copywrite should be the biggest concerns about all of this. The only thing i am moderately upset about is the Robin accepting this as is, and yet there isn't a good reason to deny free cash. This whole thing is mind numbing.

Once you download a file from the workshop and its in your data folder it wouldn't mater what steam did with the mod. Just because steam deletes a file from their data base doesn't mean that the file is magically deleted of the computers of people who bought the mod. They most certainly could remove the file without any ill effects on people who bought it, but are choosing not to. Why? Because the have not been "compelled to" and they know that Chesko is probably not in a positions to "compel" them to remove it.

When you upload a file to steam your essentially forfeit any control you had over it. Hell, they even tell you that in the licensee agreement. And the platform people want to well their mods? Not smart at all.

well i helped people to get their modded skyrim to run for 2 month in the forum after that i thought i payed back what i downloaded here.

and this is the only website i had my addblocker off, too(you know how every other site makes money).

I'm not rich and Psijonica isn't eather i guess so we take that little fun we have left in our lives,
freedom, creativity and helping other people thats what i thought was this side about, but now they sell out and take that last piece of choice that makes us burst out in anger.. can't you people understand this?

This deal will mark the beginning of the end off modding, the last bastion of freedom that was left...

Yeah the community paid for the servers, by either choosing to get premium either because they had money to spare, wanted to help or wanted the extra features or by "gob beware" using the site and downloading mods, I feel so abused shame one you Dark0ne.
