True, I think those are both legitimate concerns, and would be something that modders would have to think about and address long before ever choosing to sell or not sell their mods (if it's ever allowed again). Compatibility would have to be really clear for sure.

Keep in mind I'm not speaking to you personally, or pointing the finger in your direction in any way. I'm just addressing the majority of the people who were freaking out majorly at modders for wanting to take part in the "new" (now old) system. They had every right to do so, and still deserve users respect. Users have no right to make demands on what modders do with their own mods. Edited by phellen

Actually, 10% is considered a very high percentage on Nexus. That's something that I've learned over my time here.

If you can crack the 10% barrier, then you've really accomplished something. ;)

This is why paying for mods is such a volatile area as Bethesda and Valve have no real way of regulating this. The thing with how they have laid it out in their EULA means that a blind eye is turned because the companies are still making profits.

Get money involved and lawyers will surely follow.

Timing and Execution were my biggest problems, the former being something that valve explicitly admitted was a problem.

Sadly, That Paid Bullshit is GONE...While I would not Purchase Any of them on principle, I would have considered purchasing something like 'PURITY' under different circumstances...

But that MOD is now GONE and I assume it won't come back. I think about that Mod Author who is very talented and wonder what this will mean for him. I think about Chesko and others who were CAUGHT in all of this. This whole incident may have "ALMOST DESTROYED" them too.

There's also the EULA, GPL, Creative Commons and/ or other licensing terms for software used when making the modification (Maya 3D, Poser as well as other software). As those resources as well may not allow the content produced to be sold for monetary gain.

In addition to the supplementary license agreements for content production software and/or any addon components for said software (both commercial and otherwise).

This is also dependent on the edition of the software used by the modder in the first place (Free, Lite, Standard, Pro, Premium, Ultimate etc). In addition the target audience of the license terms and the software edition.

The reason being the software's developer may or may not allow the content produced using the software to be sold for monetary gain. In addition they may or may not allow the monetary gain sale distribution to be for a large number of people.

In addition in the case of Creative Commons License an author of piece of content or software can restrict commercial sale of said work. They may even have a clause preventing commercial sale of content produced using said piece of software (added after fact in a custom document).

Failure to abide by said restrictions could lead to an appearance it court potentially for the modder and/or those involved with its distribution. As well as large bill for the royalties generated from the sale of said content dependent on content or software licensing terms.

Those who were involved in the thing which was the cause of the recent crisis failed to take into account all of the above. Edited by MrGrymReaper

Nothing wrong with all this, but that was not what was on offer. it's that which a lot of the more mature sections of the internet were saying.

If a supermarket raises all its prices for no other reason than because it can, it is people's right to object.
