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

Oh! The Humanity! Folks, take a deep breath. This is really quite simple. If you actually see money going someplace you don't like it to, do the big-boy or big-girl thing and find out the facts. if you think you might detect money going someplace you don't know about and you don't know why or who or when...you're assuming. And right now I read comments by people that assume ill will The internet by its nature is a land of snap decisions and "this is the first info I read so it must be true". Be smarter than that. You know when I'm going to say 'the Nexus has sold out'? When I see a dime come out of my pocket. I've never paid for a mod. I have made third party stuff for another game that took several years, cost me hundreds of dollars in historical reference material and software and represents literally thousands of my hours. I didn't charge for it. A software developer for a similar game contacted me and tried to use me as a researcher for their own historical project. Told them to pound sand, I wasn't enhancing their profits with my sweat. So I think I get it. Gamers are touchy folks most times, and those guys that do mods for free are protective of them. They should be. There's a difference between "protective" and "paranoiac" however. Personally I despise the idea of "modding by money". I feel it's the antithesis of what these communities are about. But you know what else I think? Biting the hand that feeds you based on a panic is silly.

I had a huge, long comment written out but i realized no one would read it. and it's all been said before... it was about being supportive of our side of the conflict (the mod authors, us, and especially Dark0ne).

Long story short:

 

Let's all disable our adblockers on this site.

 

Yeah it sounds like an ad in itself, but if you don't have all that much to donate, hey. I just think that something may happen in the future to this place, from the wake of this decision on Valve and Bethesda's part and with Dark0ne having signed his name as "Service Provider." I don't know what's coming either but it would definitely help him out to have that extra bit of revenue coming in.

 

Also yes i did. (but this is the ONLY site on my computer i'm doing it for. i freakin hate ads.)

I said I would champion against the DRMification of modding. Not free modding.

And on the subject of server prices, £500,000 a year for this site on server storage is total rubbish. https://uk.godaddy.com/pro/windows-dedicated-server - use this link as a rough estimate. Do the math guys...

So i have to ask

 

"and if they offered to pay you as a consultant would you still tell them to 'pound sand'?"

[darksynth0]

Dark0ne

 

You should have never ever accepted anything from Valve.

Even if it looked like a "free and fair cut from the pie".

It's not.

 

You just had to implement the properly executed donation system and never agree to anything before hearing from the community which helps Nexus sites to stay aflot.

 

I don't mind to pay for a mods (SkyUI, CRF, USKP, why not?), but when I want and how much I can, and the use the mods in a classic way with MO and stuff, passing the stupid Steam Workshop.

 

Things kind worked for Nexus for 14 years, as you say it, and I don't see a reason everyone should rapidly switch to a Steam paid mods and left your site without a penny to survive.

 

That'll be just stupid.

I even turned off adds for Nexus, and brought a premium few times, and I would love to pay some little donation here and there for the mods I love and adore.

 

But you are dragging yourself into some deep s#*! with all these dirty games.

 

Think twice.

[jimcamx]

Absolutely right. Dark0ne is supporting the modders, if they want to sell their mods (for 25% of their worth) it's their right to. If they want to ask for donations, it's their right to, if they want to provide them free of charge, it's their right to.
As for the 5% donation, he probably could have saved himself a s*** storm by denying it, but how can anyone say no to money, willingly given, no matter how small, by a large entity such as Valve? They didn't have to share their cut, but they are choosing to.

Whether this is good for modding in a general sense or not remains to be seen. I can see potential that this may lead to more developers releasing modding tools for their communities if it takes off. We could see modding become more common again in triple A titles particularly. That's probably the most optimistic result, in the short term this sounds like a bad deal for the individual modder, however as Dark0ne is right in saying it's their choice to sell their mods if they choose. In the mean time he's going to continue providing a platform for mods to be available free of charge to both the modders and the gamers, the same thing Nexus has always done.

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?

No, it does not. Do not use me as the poster-child for that campaign as I never said I was.

So you either didn't read it, or you read it, and then decided to say I was painting myself as the "saviour of the free modding community" when I've specifically said I neither am or want to have that title. So yes, you look stupid. Even more so, now.

Quite the opposite, actually.

You can't shrug or laugh this off. This is a MUCH bigger deal than you're trying to make it out to be, and just because you refuse to admit there is a problem with your lack of disclosure and transparancy....that doesn't make the problem go away.

And like it or not, a LOT of people have a problem with this.

If you consider that bullying, I'm not sure what world you live in. As I understand it from his posts, he's staying neutral at the moment because he understands both sides. I also do not see any point of arguing with someone who is incapable of see things from only one perspective and have such a fragile self-esteem.

Actually, no he didn't, what you HAVE done though, is shown that twice now, you lack any reading comprehension skills whatsoever, which also explains why you have the whole Valve/Nexus thing so wrong.

Because you read and then interpret everything the way you WANT it to be, rather than the way it actually IS, facts be damned.

Let's face it, the reason he is saying is is neutral is because he is afraid to actually state his position. Wishy washy... and because I have an opposite opinion of how he has handled this now everybody trolls me. LoL Like I care. I own my house (paid for) and have a wife who loves me and 3 children that I feed and clothe and I am here with my eldest fighting for what I believe is right.

I believer he has lied, I believe he is not being honest and I don't trust his so called good intentions.

I can not believe for the life of me what is happening and you know what, if this goes through then this whole generation deserves SOPA and all the other corporations to come in take over the internet.

Of course I say that with tongue in cheek but I have been fighting the machine my whole life and I am getting tired... this really makes me not want to care any more and just let the children work it out themselves.

Pay-for-mods is the absolute worst thing that can happen and it is pretty much a done deal.

If Dark0ne want to be the Champion then let him refund all the money he gets from valve directly to the moddders. Lets see if he does that eh?

"I WILL fight anyone who says I don't have the right to NOT CHARGE for mods on MY site."

And no, I don't think that mod authors being able to donate some of the money being made to the Nexus is a conflict either.

edit: He didn't get the money from the modders' cut, he got it from Valve's cut.

You're using a website for FREE and demanding that someone else PAY for something that has already been explained, that all of us adults were able to comprehend quite clearly on our first read-through of Robin's article.
At this point, I can only chalk up your incomprehension of Robin's explanation as, you're either Drunk, or you're now too emotionally invested in this to save face and back out out gracefully by apologizing.

At this point, you're in a hole so deep, and refuse to see it, that if someone threw you a ladder, you'd start digging with it.

This is to say that although I cannot speak for the site owner nor do I know, or ever talked to him, but he has stated his position and we should try give him some benefit of the doubt because there are things that can be safeguarded against.

Suppose time will tell but it is somewhat comforting to know that the players at hand here do see the value of the community here. Admittedly it might be money orientated, however we can have the chance to show them there is more to modding than that. Then maybe they will see that suffocating all aspects of the free community will stifle creativity. I hope. And we can start by using donation systems. But that's money I hear you say??? Yes but it is important HOW you give money and WHO you give it to.

HE ONLY BENEFITS.......ONLY, if someone CHECKS THE BOX that says "Send 5% of the earning for this mod to the Nexus", there are also checkboxes to send 5% to the makers of NifSKope and Blender as well.
Why aren't you complaining about those two things possibly getting 5% whenever someone checks the box for them to receive 5% of the income?

If a modder DOESN'T check that box for The NEXUS, or NifSkope etc then the Nexus and NifSkope etc get NOTHING, ZERO, ZIP, ZILCH, NADA, NOTHING, is sent to the Nexus, NOTHING....
Do you UNDERSTAND IT YET?

The Nexus isn't getting a cut of any mods being sold on SteamWorks UNLESS THE MOD AUTHOR CHECKS THE BOX to let the Nexus have 5% of the sales as a "Thank You"

I am surprised that no one sees this because its buying him even if he or us dont think so because at the end of the day if you take money from those who are trying to take and run a monopoly no matter the small % given you are still silently supporting the endeavor they are trying to force down everyone elses throat

And I also think that YOU are coming out of this looking dishonest, petty, unapologetic, and at the risk of upsetting you (which is not my intention), just a little sociopathic.

You can't shrug or laugh this off. This is a MUCH bigger deal than you're trying to make it out to be, and just because you refuse to admit there is a problem with your lack of disclosure and transparancy....that doesn't make the problem go away.

And like it or not, a LOT of people have a problem with this.

Yes my wife and I are very happy. It is well known that I am a lesbian. I have never hid from that here or anywhere. Do you have something against the gay and lesbian community?

No problem at all, I have gay and lesbian friends, and, as I said in my post.
[i'm glad that you and your wife, and two kids, and your paid for house are happy.]

Now, you've definitely got some MAJOR reading comprehension problems if you are somehow getting that I have a problem with the LGBT community with my comment.

At this point, I'll just chalk it up to you either have some type of reading comprehension problem, or are just belligerent and looking to fight about EVERYTHING.

Anyway, I'm completely fed up with you, because you aren't even participating in the discussion anymore, and instead are acting like a belligerent party-goer who has had a few too many drinks, and wants to try and turn EVERYTHING into a fight

He said he isn't a champion white-knight for free mods, and he said he isn't a money-hungry demon from hell. He just wants mods to be free and open when the mod creators want them to be. Why are you so goddamn narrow-sighted? If you read the post you would see you're exactly the kind of people he is talking about.

By the way, people disagreeing with you isn't "trolling". It's just you being unable to take f*#@ing criticism.

I'm going to go play some Attila at any rate online, so peace to you all. I'm done with this nightmare of a woman and her continued inability to basically 'comprehend' that which has been made clear time and time again.

Oh, really?

You just keep doing what you're doing Robin.

 

Without the nexus, most modders these days (even those of us who branched out to our own servers and services) would never even have got their start in modding, let alone be sitting here to whine about how they think that receiving a theoretical maximum 5% of of a 25 cent mod's profits means you've sold your soul to the devil.

 

They all like to forget what you're doing for them on a daily basis, or what it takes for you to continue doing it.

 

I think you've been pretty damned transparent from start to end. All in all, it just goes to show how bad a few users are at reading comprehension.

Reaper0021 wrote: bigdean is right. This 'person' has been flying all over the forum accusing Dark0ne of every kind of injustice that can be levied at one man. It's actually a shame in and of itself. There is no point in continuing. AND if you try to you'll have to hear about her kids, happy partnership with her wife, her house and how responsible she is.

Bottom line is this you cant take money from the corporate machine and then say hey what they are doing is going to probably ruin what WE all have sunk countless hrs into making what it is today thats just talking like a politician

I said I would champion against the DRMification of modding. Not free modding.

@Dark0ne.

1) Reschedule vacation. 2) Leave all electronic devices at home. 3) Bourbon. Lots of it.
