Ridiculous.I hope if one lesson has been learned from all this it is this...People will betray each other in a heartbeat when money is involved.The only modders who deserve any sympathy are the ones that were attacked by the greedy capitalist pushing pissants for not standing at the side of their fellow turncoats.Sorry if I get banned for this comment... But it needed to be said.

The blame cannot be placed solely on the users as if they were all issuing death threats and spewing absolute hatred. There were of course many users that were constructive and not issuing death threats by explaining that this system could have worked if it was implemented better. Don't let the sour few spoil your opinion of the masses. I wouldn't hop on the 'pity bethesda/valve' train as a result of hearing death threats as these sorts of statements are not uncommon in nearly all avenues of life. You make absolute statements like 'the users' as if they represented everyone, there were many who were calmly involved in the discussion as well.Change is not neccesarily good. We're talking about a hobby that many of us have put thousands of hours into. I don't think the modding community should be seen as villains in this. Especially if people wish to ascribe good intentions to Valve and Bethesda (Two companies that would probably not even exist anymore or be very small without their modding communities).AAA gaming has been going downwards for years and modding is what keeps the spirit of gaming alive for millions of people. Messing with that by introducing money and consequentially greed, on top of a very easily abused system of Steam Workshop and more and more information uncovered about how this was planned long in advance, and there's no way that the modding and gaming communities wouldn't raise absolute hell over this.I just truly hope that all parties learn from this. However, with monetary interests involved, I think everyone should be vigiliant that this could happen all over again, just better repacked in PR-speak than Gabe Newell's meltdown AMA.

RobertSkyrim94 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) I do legitimately think that modders should get paid for their work and honestly my problem was never with the modders as much as it was with Bethesda and Valve,it was kinda of a matter of hating the game instead of the gamer, but whatever. I do hope that those modders try to release their mods , cuz some of them looked pretty cool. Edited April 28, 2015 by RobertSkyrim94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

claustromaniac Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I really wasn't going to state my opinions on this subject. I simply tried to keep my distance from the madness of these last few days because my life is already stressful enough as it is, but after reading this I realise I should at least thank all of you crybabies who flooded the internet with tears of fear and frustration. THANKS! P.S.: My sincere symapthies to those of you mod authors who just wanted to profit from your creations and were unfairly accused of being greedy.

Deleted1259044User Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) Someone said it here and I will jump on the train. Now it would be great time to START donating to the modders we see they deservers it :) I know that I need to wait some more to be able to, but I will start donating as hell. This opened my eyes a little, if we showed more gratitude and appriciation to the modders, they wouldnt feel the need to jump on the SW nonsence Edited April 28, 2015 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
