Wonderful, after the DLC/Patch rip offs, gamers will pay for mods now aswell!

Kills any sort of modding community in so many ways. Let's use Warband as an example. It's an emminently terrible fucking game to mod. The tools and structure do not lend themselves to it. The only reason people figured out how to mod to the extent they did was because of open communication between modders, happy to give out the knowledge, tips and tricks they figured out after slogging through the morass of code left by the original devs. With a pay for mods model, there is absolutely no incentive to share out knowledge. Why would cmp EVER explain or lend out WSE when he could just hoarde it?
Not to mention the endless, soul darkening bullshit that will come with paid mods, the marketing, the reviews, the impossibility of using any sort of IP (goodbye GoT mods, goobye LoTR mods, goodbye Warhammer mods, etc), the bickering and thieving over assets, etc. GJ Valve, truly the wave of the future. Not surprising to see some tards in this thread gleefully sucking at Gaben's fat hairy nutsack as he rubs his asshole all over your stupid faces.

The existence of paid-for mods doesn't mean the free mod community ceases to exist (yet). It means everything becomes very complicated. I think we're going to see how that pans out with Skyrim as a barrage of mod makers are sticking to staying free forever, including SKSE. The central issue remains that all mods now need to have licenses, so we have another GPL/BSD clash in the making here.

My friend who plays Skyrim with alot of mods, checked nexus 2 days after this thing, and i think he said over 40 big good mod's are not downloadable from there anymore, only in steam with price. These mods were free for a long time. Whats most hilarious, he said that theres kinda one mod that is needed for most of the other big mod's to work good :p

Give Me Money For No Reason

This adds a very basic new NPC to the game. She is a beggar.
 Her name is Beth, and all she does is sit around outside Whiterun waiting for you to give her some money.

 She actually seems to be pretty well-off already, based on her expensive clothes and jewelry,
 but rain or shine you can find her out there begging for more money with a smile on her face.
 Regardless of her situation, she will accept every coin you feel like throwing her way.

 The only requirement for this mod is that you bought The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

"Isn't the 75% cut seen as a bit high?
Also, there were reports of discussions of mods being deleted or not being accessible, are negative discussions being censored?"

"The pay-outs are set by the owner of the game that is being modded.
As I said elsewhere, if we are censoring, it's dumb, ineffective, and will stop."

On steam discussion:
"As a modder, your not helping us by paying.
To all people who think this is a good idea:
You should stop thinking your actually helping us by supporting this crap. By making mods paid, your destroying the cooperation that leads to EVERY great mod being created.
Do you really think people will want to help out a fellow modder if he is getting money for your work?"

Edit: My comment is crap compared to the first comment on the reddit link. http://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/33nxep/steams_new_paid_workshop_content_system_speaks/cqmw1qq

I think that is the main problem. The money entering the game makes everyone to stop the cooperation.

Those modders probably realizes they have to be active with it as well which makes them butthurt.

Good or not, his company raised PC gaming from the ashes after Microsoft left it to rot. But this isn't something that will keep PC gaming as it is (was?), it makes difference between PC and consoles even smaller. Last thing Sony/Microsoft have to do is to quit with the practice of 5-7 year per hardware generation and make it do it like every other hardware seller, new hardware every two year tops (if retards can buy freaking iPhone every year they sure can pay for console as well). Also paid subscription for Steam incoming, in one form or another...

Greed is a nasty thing. Just look at Star Citizen, that "project" is prime example of greedy developers. Can't even read much about actual development, because they spend too much time preparing concepts sales!? They aren't even selling finished ships, but concepts and there are delays to that as well, and it is being discussed by community and anticipated like second coming of Christ.
