I get it dude you like free s#*!, just don't say Bethesda and steam taking 75% is unfair when you are in support of authors getting jack s#*!. That is like a regular business cut in this situation, slavery is people working for free being harassed by the privileged if it doesn't meet their expectations. Either way you can say I am throwing a tantrum but the truth is I have already had this realization like so many modders that grow up, you just cant afford to do this anymore, especially when it is definitively unappreciated. Money is value Period unless you guys are gonna be my friend, support me in a time of need, marry me I really couldn't care less about your endorsements, thanks or whatever the hell, it is all garbage and the likes are worthless. As is mod making in general. It has been finalized YOUR MODS ARE WORTHLESS says the community. Well alright then I can live with that, I kind of felt that way anyways and have a hard enough time justifying balancing my time modding between things that pay me and people who love me.

I work in schools and I am not lying when I say there is a lack of focus on copyright, law and personal rights. A lot of young people do not understand this as they just Google it and pick and choose what they want By the time they leave school the rules have changed. Then they go on sites like this one see free content/money but have little to no idea where it actually comes from, the cost involved (time, effort and money) and just consume, consume, consume.

People are not idiots just because they do not know things. Sometimes companies prefer them that way, ask less questions, just give us the money and all will be well.

Again, Purity made over $1000 in 5 days. some of the armor and swords had already made $800-$1000. In 5 days. That cost would have been covered in no time at all. people could continue to make large mods for free if they wish. Edited by UberSmaug

Well, yeh I see your point on that. I guess it's yet another reason why it should be curated, something I very much believe.

I myself have nephews who are ignorant to this stuff, I often have to help them with it. Youtube videos and things that they use. Edited by Axeface

I'm not even talking about Steam or Bethesda. I like Bethesda, A lot. To me it is the Nexus that should be nuturing the modders mainly because they profit from them. The nexus is the one who benefits from the community and the modders. Its time to give something back. They stand to the side while the community fights between modders and users and it plays into their hands while they pretend they don't realize they are part of it.

While not eloquent, he's right. The onus for any of the legal ramifications is on the seller not the consumer.

This is exactly the same as people trying to justify their behaviour by arguing "it's the split that's not right!! We did this for you man!"

If any of you bothered to go read Bethesda, valve, arthmoor or anyone else involveds articles or blog posts you'd be aware of the legal teams involved and the investments made in this system.

The long and short of your stance is simply that you don't want this opportunity to exist to mod authors.

This is a massively complex situation and in many regards the Nexus have their hands tied in what they can legally do. I agree that there needs to be a higher mandate of cohesion, however a top-down approach can only do so much.

If you have not already have a read of the posts in the following Nexus forum:

http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/2810229-is-the-word-user-negative/

While this only scratches the surface it can hopefully start a communal consensus on what role we all play in this giant machine.

Goodbye!

Hey can you answer me some questions? I would like to know what happens if one of your paid mods breaks another 4.99€ Mod of mine? Who is to blame? You or the other modder? How fast will you fix it, cause then i will yell your mod broke my game, i paid for it. Then you are not an artist anymore, you are someone distributing a product and then the customer will get really mad if you break anything that worked before. You are already tired to answering to hate by something like those 4days, well the amount of time you can spare answering to hate,flame when you break any of the customers stuff will then take your time until you fix it. Can you see the 0 Star Ratings out of pure rage?

Please consider as well are you using anything in your mods which was provided to you via another mod? Let's say cause you use SKSE then they will get 10% of your cut, i mean you can not simply deny them their rights. They did work and all. ENB should charge money too?

@macintrol

Sorry. I'm lost here. Axeface at no point talked about using a "similar system to videos for mods.

I quoted what he said.

Either I misunderstood him greatly (Which I doubt) or maybe you shouldn't be intercepting messages addressed to someone else's specific comment.
