Please, somebody make a horse armor mod

Just went to the Workshop to check out the price of mod prices introduced. I'm freakin' shocked. 4.59 euros for Arissa - The Wandering Rogue mod. Are you kiddin' me??? For real? I paid like 7 euros for my Legendary edition, and this is one mod's price, in comparison?...

Steam still is the best DRM platform, but the gap between Steam and others is getting smaller and smaller with every month. And that is not because others are getting that much better, but because Steam is getting that much worse.

people are selling mods that require SkyUI and SKSE to work they are using other modders work in there mods and selling them as if it was there own work.

That right there is the same thing Valve is doing getting paid from other peoples work.

Why so serious? If modders want to sell their stuff (and get 25% of the price, lol) then so be it. Next to nobody will buy their mods unless they are extremally good and that is rare and doesn't happen without community support anyway. Let them fail.

Free mods will not disappear and nobody forces anyone to buy paid ones.

And besides that workshop mods are not compatible with mods organizers. In case of Skyrim it's one huge NO WAY.

Im pretty neutral about valve, since I haven't done anything to require me to speak to their support, and im sure vavle wasn't expecting the thousands of unique tickets per day when they implemented the trading and gifting system, I see them as going something like "well crap, we screwed up, ah who cares we make money, feck em"

I admit I didn't look at the article regarding the modding, but I personally like choice, if they want to implement paid modding its fine with me as long as they leave creators an option to upload free mods.

Though really with a rating I would give Valve a 4/10 all because of those stupid phishing bots that won't leave me the heck alone.

You love Valve but Valve (like all companys) love & want money.

¿If ppl pay why stop it?, remember...it is a business...

BTW Steam are solid and have got good offers, dont see only the bad...

And for me isnt bad...if i want something normal is pay for it...we always want all for free.

RIP Good-old Valve

Valve started going down hill when they wouldn't give us HL3

Valve's Tom Bui said: "User-generated content is an increasingly significant component of many games, and opening new avenues to help financially support those contributors via Steam Workshop will help drive the level of UGC to new heights."

By financially support he means that they can buy games because the money they receive will be steam wallet money and not actual money they can spend on food or expenses. This seems like total garbage. Plus the fact that the owner of the mod only gets 25% of the actual price. That's nothing, during the meantine valve and bethesda get paid for sitting on their chairs and not creating anymore content for their games.

I have actually played around with alot of mods, and I have only seen 1 for which I would pay money for and thats ICEnhancer for GTA IV (and its FREE). The rest are rubbish I would play with for a few minutes or hours and then delete them.

PS: Be prepared to see every workshop on steam receive this same treatment unless the community and the media throw a shitstorm about it and they remove paid mods.

Edit: Read the FAQ abit, seems that modders get the money sent to their bank accounts and they don't just receive wallet cash.

I said it before, i will say it again:

Google: "Dell is Hell" and read the case study.

After the pathetic paid mods idea, the community must create a new "Valve is Hell" discussion wave and post it everywhere!

They should have simply implemented donations, that could go to steam wallet or something like that, It would be a win for them I guess. But nooo.....
Can SKSE team do anything about this?

I saw another thread that summed it up like this: "it sucks for the users but it's great for the modders", however OP call this way of thinking silly.

I have no clue about modders, so I don't know how fair or unfair this is for them, but as a user I do feel it's a dick move just for greed.

Can someone please shed some light on this? Is it reasonable or is it greedy?

Limitless capitalism, yay for being explored by the big guys!

To be perfectly honest? I have no idea how to feel about this.

On one hand, it is kind of nice to see modders being at least... PARTIALLY paid for some hard work.

On the other, they're charging for shit like mods, games like Air Control have come out, and I'm pretty sure if you know how to make a mod, you probably have some form of talent that will pay more than 25% of whatever Valve throws onto Steam.

There are a few things that worry me about this, though.

There seems to be a missing option. The "I don't care, I won't be buying them" option.

If a game's not fun without mods, I won't buy mods in hopes that it fixes the game. And it it is fun without mods, why do I need to spend money on modding it? They're not official and they don't add anything to the canon, so it's pretty easy to just completely ignore them. DLC is much worse, especially when it's plot-related and ties in to the next game in the series.

Rip skyrim modding ?!?!? wtf are you talking about ? maybe you should do some research before posting garbage like that..only small amounts of mods you will have to pay for and that are going to be DLC sized mods (small mods will stay free cuz nobody will buy them trust me) and even than it will be pay what you want. If anything this is good for modding comunnity cuz it will encourage modders to make more mods and more importantly better and more polished mods

Has somebody seen Gopher's today stream?

But there are FREE and PAID mods you can get. It's only to support the modders who work hard on creating mods. You can still get free mods if you want and if you like you can buy the PAID mod also. I don't see fuss about it. Don't you want to be able to monetize or get some revenue on your hard work?

This Topic Creator is so ignorant I can't believe it. RIP Modding? LMAO!

It's honestly funny how pretty much the non modders are supporting this. Everyone who even modded game a little bit, doesn't even need to be a creator is pretty much against this. Since majority people who use workshop have no clue about skyrim nexus, they're going to support Valve and almighty Gaben. GJ Valve, gj.
