Hugo M. Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 So, if you've payed attention on the steam store main page you've seen that mod creators on the Skyrim mods section(and I dunno if any more) can now make their mods be paid, so in other words, if you want it you have to buy it. What's your honest opinion on this subject? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber01236 Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Good intentions, horribly implemented, like ridiculously horribly implemented imo. (also SkyUI which thousands of mods need to run will be paid for soon, so now mod pirating is a thing). Would've just been better to have a donate button instead of hiding content behind another paywall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbitfist Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 i think you should be able to donate rather than buying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidneyBeanBoy Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 What no I think it is a perfect system why would anyone think it's wrong? *$50.00 bill starts falling out of coat pocket* Ignore that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neosaurus Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Stupid idea. Legally and morally. You know Valve and the game dev gets 75%, and the modder only get 25%. What a crap deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hilarious part about this statement is the fact that modders can't cash out until they reach a $100.00 minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would've just been better to have a donate button instead of hiding content behind another paywall.I'll take your word for it since i haven't researched it. The intention behind it is great. People want everything for free, especially if it's online, so there's going to be a ton of backlash no matter how it's implemented. Also, a donate button sounds nice too, but if youtube is any indication, it's never used. Perhaps if it were a bit more in depth than a simple donate button -- sorta like Patreon. The hilarious part about this statement is the fact that modders can't cash out until they reach a $100.00 minimum.That's fairly standard. It's the same with YouTube/Adsense (unless you get partnered). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyanBlue Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Locking MODS behind a paywall is absolutely horrible especially for a game like skyrim ,where most of the experience comes from modding. Now mods like wet and cold and iNeed are paid updates. not to mention skyUI is gonna cost money, and skyUI is every good skyrim mod's backbone. also many paid mods are just shitty sword retextures or incomplete armor mods. i really hope valve realised how retarded this is and that theyre gonna cancel the whole thing soon. mods should always be free.
