Nothing to add.

"Mr Newell said the revenue split ratio was set by the original maker of a game, not Valve. The split could be different on other games."

 

Confirmation that this will happen to all modded games

I read his posts, he showed a Cynical disregard for the views of his customers and their efforts to explain their position. He's having a lot of fun at the moment.

So making anything in the CK makes one a coder now?

"entire levels"

Am I the only one who cringed at that?

It's like whoever wrote that thinks games are all like super mario

Totally clueless

Yeah like I said - all of the sudden someone who plops a game asset into the CK and DOESN'T put it into the world is a coder now?

That's not even coding. If you dive in Papyrus, you are for all intents and purposes, a coder -- and you will be tempted to keep doing it all the time.

Yes. Referring to every single modder as a coder, though - that's just rude to actual programmers and scripters. I make mods. I don't know how to code beyond xml and MINOR payprus and a few other languages. I don't call myself a programmer just because I can do XML and some amateur work on actual scripts. Mastering software language takes time and work, and calling anyone who can copy-paste some examples a coder ignores that.

 

Maybe I'm getting too worked up about this, but I just try to appreciate an actual coder's work.
