Arthmoor,

That's where you're wrong. Mod users are, of course, the consumers of paid mods. Therefore, they have every right to express their opinions on this "option" of monetizing modifications. The customer is always right; that's the view of every successful business. The fact that paid mods received such a negative backlash from the consumer base should tell you that this idea is, at the very least, not ready for primetime.

Also, you talk of being betrayed. How about the mod authors that came before you, providing the tools that you use in your work, in the spirit of openness and fun, being betrayed by folks like yourself who turn around and try to make a profit off the collective work of this community? We all stand on the shoulders of giants. You betrayed the community, not the other way around. It exists independent of you, so whether you leave or not, it will go on. For what it's worth, I hope you remember the spirit of fun and collaboration that created this community when you make your decision to leave it or not.

For what it's worth, I agree with you.

This whole experience has taught me that this modding community is a massive s#*! stain.

Fact is, the trolls are everywhere, workshop or not. nexus sites just do a good job of throwing a cloth over it. But its still there underneath.

And you're right. I will delete all my stuff of the workshop cause it is just awful over there. Edited by FavoredSoul

You go to a crafts fair, and buy a cute little dolly.

When you get home, maggots pour out of it's eyes. You call the police, but then, to your horror you find out that...

...There is no police.

No, the analogy isn't that great.

I was on neutral ground about all this in the end, still am. I believed something could be worked out, but there were plenty of nonsense on both sides that only made it cancerous. Edited by troggleballs

@jfisha

I'm going after no-one.
I'm here because this is where I post my content
(I have some items on steam, but always with a direct link to the updated version here on the nexus, and even then only like 11 of my mods were posted there)
I couldn't care less about the children on the steam community,
This is where a posted my work
This is where I read the uproar over paid mods
This is where I read the attacks on authors
This is where I read the praise for the program being shut down
This is where I wanted to post my views

Huzzah! High fives for everyone! Pocahontas won!

 

And, of course, for everyone weeping bitter tears that they won't be able to profit anymore. Why not? Charge for your mod. A similar argument that went for 'well you don't have to pay' goes for you now. You don't have to give it away for free. The framework is gone that would have made it more acceptable/understandable but if you think your mod is worth money, sell it. Stand for what you believe in and etc.

I'm sorry you feel that way, but most major modders were against this. If you had some trolls get on your nerves, well that sucks, and if you feel the need to take down your mods, that's your choice. But nobody here owes you anything just as you don't owe us anything. That's the way it's worked for 13 years, and it's worked out pretty well if I do say so myself.

There has been a lot of praise for author's as well.

EDIT: Might I add that a lot of the other parts of the community have been more or less forgotten about. Debugging, Moderating, Testing, Troubleshooting, Programming, 3d Modelling, Boris (he is in a class of his own), All the other tool makers and "external" content creators that contribute their work.

Kudos to you all. Edited by sunshinenbrick

I agree with you 100% FavoredSoul. I never expected Bethesda to remove this just because of the negative backlash, but I guess I was wrong. Edited by jmenaru
