The problem is that now with all this fucking money around it everyone's so caught up in 'their share' that overhauls the evolve by integrating with each other is fucked.

I'm not against modders getting money for their work.

But a) this isnt about helping out those poor modders make some money. 75% cut, and no pay out below 100$ (that means 400$ worth of sales), show thats bullshit.

b) Valve doesnt care that you rip off other peoples work and mods to make your own, so much for standing up for the "under appreciated" work of modders

c) This is going to stiffle innovation. Modders who made mod source packs and mod tools are already showing distress over this. Most mods that got pulled from Nexus werent to put on Steam, but because the authors were afraid theyd get ripped off.

Modding is very itterative and modders constantly learn from eachother and use eachothers work in their own projects. With money involved this will break down.
Why would i let my stuff be used by another modder who could end up monetizing my work?
And if i monetize my own mod, why would i help others create content that could very well compete with my own?

Again, this isnt against modders getting some financial recognition for their work. This is about Valve (and Bethesda) fucking over everyone, a whole eco-system of modding, just for their own greed. Get other people to make DLC for you, people you dont have to pay unless they actually sell (and sell enough) and they get scraps at best, but without any of the responsibility.
Mod doesnt work? Tough shit, your refund is only within 24h and that is in store credit, not an actual refund.

All the while playing it off as some messiah for modding, as if they are doing anyone other than themselves a favor.
Also what about mods based on someone else's IP? Think Warner Bros might get a bit uppity about mods when other people are using LotR IP to make mods for profit? Do we really want to draw the attention to something that has always been kind of an endorsed legal grey area?

I predict this will fail and Nexus will look into making it easier and more convenient for people to donate to mod authors. Something i fully support.

I agree but 25% is to low they should be making like 70% of the sale

They included a 24 hour refund policy, if you want to get a refund on the mod you bought you can get it no question asked in the first 24 hours after you buy it.
24 hours is enough to know if you want to keep the mod or not

And what if the game gets an update (not likely for Skyrim, but this is a system that they want to expand) and a mod breaks after those 24h?
What if its a big mod and you dont find out it's broken later on after the 24h is up?
What if the modmaker breaks it with an update? Or one of the dependancies breaks it (i.e. SKSE, they said they dont want monetized mods to work with it)

If those 24h are up, and any of the myriad of feasible things happen that breaks the mod or has the mod break your game, you are shit out luck. And the mod authors are not in anyway obligated to fix anything.

The refund is bullshit btw, you dont get your money back it goes into your steam wallet. The money doesnt leave Valve's hands after you give it to them anymore.

wrong there are multiple dead ends in the maze, but there is one literal dead end.

Ik zweer je zal eruit zien als de gif die je gebruikt
