Steam and Bethesda got together to come up with a plan to charge people for user made mods, and now they're doing it. This isn't a joke, and is actually something which exists, starting today.

modding communities died the day valve hired the cs, dod, and tf teams. pretty much every team since then has been hoping to get picked up as a developer team.

i'm looking at the faq for revenue on steam, and it appears as though they will pay out in cash, but that there's a minimum payout of 100 dollars us. so i would assume that it's funny money until you hit that breakpoint, at which point they cut you a check. you would also have to do your work in terms of withholding taxes on it, which seems like way more effort than it's worth unless you're hitting the high hundreds in sales.

but if you order a refund in the 24 hour grace period it comes back to you in the form of steam wallet funds, regardless of how you paid for your mod

if you buy a mod (such as the plugin that puts hats on skyrim npcs when it rains (suggested price $6.25)) and then two days later the creator pushes out an update that breaks the mod and then bails on it you can't get your money back lol
