Mitch2129 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) I hope something positive comes out of this whole situation and more people (me included) donate to their favorite mod authors from now on, we shouldn't have to pay for mods, but we should show support. Some of these modders pour their hearts into their creations and spend hours improving games for us and adding features we otherwise wouldn't have access to and I think they deserve some praise for this and a little show of support.

Majitsu Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 This is great news. I actually support mod authors getting paid for their work if they so desired. Its just the way they were implementing it was a disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tirekyll Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 don't know why but I have a really bad feeling about all this. I mean I'm glad it was removed so maybe it can be talked out with the actual modders and everyone else. Still, could this mean the end of acceptable modding as a whole, or does this just mean it'll be tested again with a different game? Beth and Valve just giving up doesn't seem "normal".

Alkpaz Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 The benefit from all this is that at least I have a better appreciation for modders and what they do. I have donated to some on Nexus, and will continue to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally wouldn't make money decisions based on those numbers so I wonder. Grain of salt, etc on those figures. Eight percent...I'd bet one new dollar that was what they figured on, and then they found they weren't on the mark. Of course, this also gives a hint at how popular their game is.
