Welp, too bad most gamers have the impulse control of a toddler with a wallet. Can't really blame a business for trying to increase their profit margins from thin air, why add actual value when idiots will enthusiatically pay more for what they were already getting before? EA model works, despite the endless whining about EA.

Wait, did somebody actually think Valve aren't greedy bastards and that they have gamers' best interest at heart? :lol:

I'm not one of these people who thinks modders should have to work for free, but the sheer audacity of valve to think they could ever deserve a 75% cut means that I sincerely hope that gamers will just boycott this system and let valve realise that they can't be such abject cunts.

That 25% is set by the publisher with the 75% being split between Valve and the publisher

    The percentage of Adjusted Gross Revenue that you are entitled to receive will be determined by the developer/publisher of the Application [e.g., Skyrim] associated with the Workshop to which you have submitted your Contribution (“Publisher”), and will be described on the applicable Workshop page.

    When an item is sold via the Steam Workshop, revenue is shared between Valve (for transaction costs, fraud, bandwidth & hosting costs, building & supporting the Steam platform), the game developer (for creation of the game and the game's universe, the marketing to build an audience, the included assets, and any included modding or editing tools), and the item creator (including any specified contributors).

tbh i think dota2 and tf2 already had this same system for items being sold there and nobody complains

But that was justified by Valve as being acceptable because the games were created by them, this is now them taking a massive cut for literally no work other than hosting the files on the workshop.

Apparently:

Valve: 30%, Bethesda: 45%, Mod Creator: 25%

no source though, so it can be wrong

And having a less complicated install and since they get paid they'd better release patches more often etc...

Bethesda shouldn't get anything, they should pay millions to modders because they somewhat fixed their broken, copy-paste shit of a game.

That would make sense and seem fair in my eyes.
Meaning lies as much
in the mind of the reader
as in the Haiku.

Skyrim 75% off. Desperate measures are desperate (heh I was waiting for this sale mwhaha).

If this paid modding system holds up against the shit storm that's rising... I'm going to be surprised. Shameless cash grab is what this is (in this form). I also don't think Valve is going to deal with all the BS this system brings. They would need to hire actual moderators to make sure people don't steal mods to sell them. Based on experiences with steam "support", I highly doubt their ability to pull this off...
