Link pls: http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/aboutpaidcontent Alright, for those of you with a fear of links and/or an absolutely drastic case of laziness, I'll sum it up for you in a completely objective and totally unbiased(lolno) way: Steam is allowing mods to be sold for a price. Now honestly, this sounds like a horrible move and I hope it fails completely and burns in the depths. I like mods. Mods are fun. I like the people who make mods so people can have fun. Those people make them for fun/desire or whatever reason they have. Now when I see this, I'm actually wondering about what the future of modding will be. Already there's a split in the modding community, with some modders taking their mods down off of nexus and uploading them for a price onto steam, while other modders have forbidden their mods from being used in any paid content whatsoever. Now what will happen with sites like Nexus? If Steam/Bethesda are making money from workshop mods and not making money from nexus mods, they'll obviously try to correct that. If they somehow managed to get nexus out of the picture, I think we'll enter some bizarre world where people are going to PIRATE MODS. And I don't mean mods about pirates. This is ridiculous. Absurd! OUTRAGEOUS! Well probably not, but it's pretty stupid. Bethesda games are known for their mod friendliness on PC. Will this change? Why pay for content when you could make it yourself? I'm really worried here, because companies like EA have shown that businesses can and will make stupid decisions that no one asked nor wanted them to do and shoot themselves in the foot. If Bethesda games lose their modding potential, their PC market will probably collapse. I wouldn't play ES on PC if I couldn't get mods. Lastly, people are friends. Friends work together as team. Team makes amazing mods. Everyone loves those mods. Friends are happy that their mods are adored. All well and good. Now toss money into that mix...human nature will set in and there will be sad times. Money corrupts and makes good people into absolute p- I'll leave it at that. If you want facts and information follow the link and do some investigating. Want things handed on a plate or something? This is pretty much my opinion and I want to hear your opinions. What do you think? Is it good that modders should recieve pay for their work? How will modding be affected? Do you even care? Do you even lift bro? Will this ever affect that dream of modding on the "Xbox 360#420 one the sequel"?
