No, I certainly hope you stay Arthmoor, losing Chesko was sad enough, he was(is) wonderful, but you certainly have every right to be mad, to claim otherwise is silly.

Why, yes the timing in all this is very interesting, isn't it? In fact this has been handled so badly that it's hard to believe Beth and Valve would be this inept. In fact one could make the argument that all this chaos in the modding community is beneficial to Beth depending on exactly what their motivation in all this is. Edited by popcorn71

Well the original example is bad, but how far do you think Skyrim modding would have come if SKSE was originally released as a paid mod? Or SkyUI, or one of the hundreds of modder resources we have on the Nexus?

Look, you want the option to make money, I think anyone that doesn't support modders in that regard is being selfish and greedy, but you have to consider the circumstance and what got us here, even you must realize that introducing a paywall at such a time will split the community and create a copyrights nightmare, that is _not_ how you go about supporting modders, I'm not even sure how I'd go about introducing another model, but I know for certain introducing a paywall at this time is the wrong choice.

For now we have to trust in the Nexus and their ability to push the Donate button into visibility, I for one didn't even know the option existed until someone pointed it out in one of Dark0ne's posts.

I know I'm not holding my breath for SkyUI 5.0....oh wait it wasn't going to be a thing to begin with before this mess popped up.

Moneytising mods, from the ground up is nothing compared in trying to moneytise a establish mod community of a game.

Everbody forgets that until now the entire modding of Fallout3/ES was a creating, sharing learning in a open source enviorment.

If you throw money into it its over. IF they start monetizing mods with Fallout 4 from the start, i think the problems would be less, atleast between modders, but dont expect any miracles.

And the "Turn on the community" you are talking about modders that pulled free mods and asked for money behind a paywall for updates.

Not that it's any condolence. But the majority of what I've seen are people that didn't think 70%-75% for beth and valve was cool at all. But I'm mostly looking at tech sites and not steam comments. Edited by MoonSpot
