Yeah but the mod creaters only get 25% of the revenue from their mods. This means that theyll have to charge higher prices to make any $ from the them.

It would be a good feature if valve didn't get %75 of the revenue. How the ♥♥♥♥ is this even any money for the creators of mods, valve takes something like %35 of money while selling items that you get while playing a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game but gets %75 of your well earned money that you work hard to get by making quality mods

Honestly I et that you modders spend a lot of time making mods, but to be fair no one ever asked you to make a mod or forced you to sit down and make one, the workshop should be free to everyone.

Charging for something that should be free is not a "feature".

you dont get it it shouldnt be free since im already selling it elsware

and yes it sucks but i still dont see any point in whineing about it what will you do about it (nothing) valve likes money so they found a way to make more

To be honest paying for mods will just break the modding community, as it already is now. I know its great that the creator gets money, but many people probably wont do it, when they can go to other forums and get them for free!

New rage face coming soon.

Valve says: " Shut up and gimme your money" (Fry holds Steam Workshop logo in his hand)

Woah, no caps and some misspelled words.

But seriously, they should have just added a donate feature for modders. Instead of, erm, this. Also, Mods are made by choice, they aren't being made for a company or anything.

no paid mods have been around since tes3 but yes making workshop items sellable without restrictions on what can and cant be sold is a bad idea

i totaly agree thats why i havnt posted my survival island mod here i dont support it but still no point in whineing

The main sense of the modmaking is that mod developers work on a free basis, you know? They created mods for free earlier, so they should create them later.

can you please remove this mods not only is it stupid it is also pointless mod creators deserve to charge for their mods seeing as we work hard on most of them make (and pay) for some of the resources used to even create the mods you obviously dont understand how hard it is to make really unique custom content

what should of happend is a donate feature

I certainly agree that modders should be rewarded for their hard work, if they so desire (I'd point out that modders haven't charged on steam workshop before now and got on fine). So perhaps a donate button would have been more appropriate. This is a thinly veiled attempt by steam (valve) to make EVEN MORE money off of other people's creativity.

If something was set up to contact mod makers and set up making some dlc. Just saying that would help steam, Bethesda and the mod creator get income. It will end your backlash and still provide you with the ability to keep people playing Skyrim and paying. (without all the backlash) While staying true to your word on helping out the modding community. Contacting modders to make possible dlc and canceling paid modding community gives certainty in knowing the one who made the dlc isn't someone selling a mod they did not make themselves. All in all there is too many problems with the new system. Something more attuned to greenlight would be better.
