If there was some sort of quality control, sure. And there's the way some Skyrim mods require other Skyrim mods to work.

Also mod makers only get 25% of the revenue, and that's only if they hit a certain sales number each month(?).

holy poo poo lol if you really think Steam charging for mods is a good and fair idea.

They get to make more money for doing absolutely nothing and justify it by tossing the "content creators" a pittance.

like in the grand scheme of things it's a pretty meaningless dumb thing.

but anyone trying to pretend that this is meant to be some great boon to modders to totally give them the fair compensation they deserve (questionable at best for like 95% of mods to begin with) can eat a dick because this is a pretty transparent money grab by Steam.

It's really loving weird too, like isn't Steam wildly successful beyond their possible dreams at the get go. I assume they are making money hand over fist for being nothing but a glorified digital library for video games, so why push such a sketchy and controversial thing down people's throats now?

Did gabe develop a crippling gambling addiction?

Mhm, yes, definitely weird that the greatest businessman on earth has come up with yet again, another way to make money that, by the way, is not compulsory. If you only want to support free mods, then your perfectly at liberty. If you'd like to show some gratitude to mod makers who often went on nothing at all in the past, then now it's easier then ever.

Oh, and it's totally not insane and demented to think this means GabeN has a gambling addiction. Really? gently caress off. It's a calculated move, and in the end, as time in time again has shown, the master businessman GabeN will emerge triumphant as usual.

its gonna be interesting to see what happens now that money is involved considering a good portion of mods in a lot of games are some autist assembling a humdred smaller mods and putting their name on it or someone with no art talent just stealing a bunch of copyrighted artwork or pulling textures from copyrighted photographs

You don't know poo poo about the blood, sweat and tears that modders, often in teams, put into their work without asking for a drat dime in return you stupid piece of crap.

With the tireless work that the LOOT developers and the community put into maintaining up to date masterlists, not to mention Mod Organiser's experimental automatic mod sorting tool, that's unlikely to happen.

God rhymes with mod. There is a stone of the Pool of Bethesda (Also Jewish in origin... TYhink THAT'S a coincidence?) in St. Mary's cathedral... Gaben made "mary" (Steam in the old testament. Look it up) pregnant with mods, and now he is taking away the mod community and replacing it in his own image. Gaben believes he is the hebrew God of the old testament. Newell (El means God). Tell me that Hitler1488FTW isn't on to something in the mod description of his horse nuts mod on the Workshop. Please. Grow up and observe the fact's that are before your eyes.
