Of course, this also gives a hint at how popular their game is.So much for that 5% kickback.Tough break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steam/Valve wanted modders rewarded for their work but went around it the wrong way. That system should have had a donation button in its place. I would certainly donate, but I am not that rich... **** it, I am going donate.Absolutely this. I have quietly sat back and watch the craziness over the last few days and it's been really difficult I am going right now to donate to SkyUI, Frostfall, Immersive iHud and Wet & Cold. I've used their mods from the beginning and this has served as a good reminder that they've worked hard to make a great game even better. Thank you to all the modders for your great work!

forli Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I guess they saw the chaos they caused with this system, and read all the comments on the mod, full of... middle fingers gestures. It's good to see they consider the mods more valuable and important than money.After all, many players buy their games because of the modding community, which work hard to improve the game in all aspects. If they hit the modding community, they damage themselves. Obviously it was not their intention to hit the modding community, but to offer an opportunity to modders (and also valve and themselves) to gain more money. But this system backfired, and it seems they learned the lesson. Long live the modding community!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCDNWarrior Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Always remember that if it wasn't for continuous, internet-widespread revolt against Valve and Bethesda, they would have kept going. Valve isn't your friend. Bethesda has shown their hand, they have been/still are very willing to throw the mod community under the bus. They are also not our friend, perhaps neutral. Consider boycotting both companies for this attempt or at the very least temper all expectations and remain vigilant for new betrayals. Don't upload your mods to Steam Workshop, however. When they reintroduce this system, they can still monetize your mods without giving you even a cent. In the meantime, we can get back to modding without as many immediate worries.

We may also have to look out for spite updates from them for being caught between the two forces like this.Having said that, I do hope they will return to the fold and redouble their modding efforts for the community.
