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

The thing is your morality is, yours. We all have a moral stance on everything, from foreign policy to toilet paper. That the Nexus has taken a stance, that you perceive as hypocritical, that is your opinion and your right to view it as such. The Dark0ne and others have laid out their position and reasoning, at no point have they claimed to be opposed to receiving money offered to them, via the steam payment model. From a purely business standpoint, it would strange to say the least, to deny a revenue stream.

 

Many of us are upset even angry about the model setup by Valve and Bethesda. Me because I view it as exploitative, others because it's allow payment which goes against their, beliefs that modding should a hobby not a profession. What is damaging to the community as a whole, is the polarization and grand standing of a vocal few.

Where does it state he does not support it? Show me. He doesn't!

He is wary of the consequences, yes. And he wants to keep modding free. Meaning, fighting to keep the ability to make a mod and upload it for absolute free. NOT, no-one can make money of mods... Where did you get that wrong?

He also makes sure this site will remain free, for as long as free mods can be made...

Fighting to keep modding a game a free thing to do, or fighting against people earning money from mods are two very distinct things.

*GASP*

Wow I kinda wish I hadn't read that... really boils the whole thing down and shows how disillusioned V***e have become with their own audiences. Well this one at least. It the unsuspecting new generations I feel sorry for.

Also interesting he didn't say "S***m Credit is how the community steers work". A sad moment indeed.

Actions speak louder than words. Taking part in Valve's actions shows WAY WAY WAY more to me than him typing words.

Actions ALWAYS speak louder than words.

Shush, they made the game and tools. There would be no skyrim mods without skyrim.

At least you guys were open an honest about your own involvement in all of this and the cut that you take right from the start in your original news article when Steam first announced this new Paid Modding thing, instead of waiting for it to be outed by someone and then having to explain yourself out of it.

 

 

Oh wait... ;)

WORDS speak louder when its an explanation. I will say again, he is NOT the only site to be on the service provider list, AFKMODs and MCM menu are on there too. People are just flocking here because Chesko took a hissy fit and tried to move the blame.

bigdean, rest assured, the community is JUST as angry with those entities as they are with Dark0ne and with sellout mod authors and with Valve and Bethesda.

The only difference is that those entities aren't saying "I don't like this one bit, but I'll still take the money from it".

AFAIK, those entities aren't saying much of anything.

But I'm sure some white knight will swoop in and prove me wrong.
