You consider each project a contract. 1099 all your staff as independent sub-contractors..THUS, the amount they receive is renegotiated with each project. The compensation doesn't go up or down whether the project never sees publication, or it becomes a GOY and earns a THOUSAND awards.

As for property, I would consider the rights to ALL unique content to be retained by the original Author and would get explicit consent for its use, provided the cost to do so doesn't exceed the cost to make it myself. Edited by Fowldragon

Its amazing how Money, (a paltry sum of it might I add) managed to tear a community that was going strong for 5 years apart in a matter of 3 days. To the point where the damage done here alone could shut down the modding community entirely over the next few months.

 

Silly to even consider it but perhaps there was a hidden agenda to see this happen from the start. After all an entire community that embraced free mods for years wouldn't be a welcomed opposition to a pay wall system placed by the people who made and sponsor the game.

 

I mean, there was no way that Valve and Bethesda honestly didn't see this coming when they thought, lets shake up things in the modding community and see what happens.

 

Because at the end of the day, Valve and Bethesda are a part of Corporate Business. They exist to make money, and to spend as little money as possible to reach a return profit. This step didnt earn them any profit because they returned it, but it had a clear impact on a free to play community and shook the foundation to its core. IF they try this again (and they almost certaintly will, though probably on a different game with a weaker community base) It could effectively succeed And there is profit, with almost no effort on their part.

New Suggestion to Valve and Bethesda, add paid mods to Fallout 4 AT RELEASE AND NOT 3.5 YEARS LATER so mods that are already installed don't suddenly get a premium version or go paid.

Give the modders a little more than 25% so the argument that people could makes mods to earn money makes sense.

And, you, Valve and Bethesda, will have to moderate the paid mods section and not the community because if a stolen mod or a mods with stolen assets is sold and you both receive money from it you are both taking stolen money as well and if you don't see the point in that last argument I'm not sure if I even want Fallout 4 or anything else from you guys.

To me, the fact that the community is so divided by this, sort of showed what a delicate system this truly is. It's as if the community was built as 2D graphite sheets rather than the 3D diamond lattice we thought. No one could have expected a turn out as messy as this...

@ arxerisdam
Not sure to understand your points ?

If advertising pay the modder, the mod is still 100% free for users.
It's exactly the same as here currently : a mod page, people read, check and download. Done

Some ads are shown on the page, those ads give money to the "content provider" aka the modder account, exactly like the youtube concept. (google adsense do this very well ^^)

The more popular is the mod (pages view, clicks), the more advertising is giving money to the modder.
No payment, no price for mod, no more difference for the end user.
free mods, and retribution for the "content maker" like everywhere else.

Well, the author of SkyUI says he eventually go release the update here when SKSE has been update (He already have the 5.0 finished anyway), the other two still in lockdown and the modder still silent.

Hope the every modder see the not everyone is a hater.
