Steam lets modders sell their wares, starting with 'Skyrim'

4.6
Valve's move to start selling community-created mods on its PC-game storefront looks like it could boost that $57 million user payout from earlier this year. And it's starting with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim -- one of the most popular moddable games. The process sounds pretty easy as Valve tells it, too. Upload your tweak to the Skyrim Creation Kit, agree to the new Steam Workshop terms, enter payment info and set your creation free. Within the week, it'll go up for sale at a price of your choosing. You can even add revenue splitting if you're working with a team and generally control the whole process from start to finish.

Their was a huge petition here : https://www.change.org/p/valve-remove-the-paid-content-of-the-steam-workshop/u/10612776 and it already reached 70 thousand people. Crazy! I believe steam will listen to the people and take it away unlike call of duty. LOL

The paid mods thing is already being abused. There are people who have literally stolen others work and listed there to profit. I'm all for donating to content creators who actually do good work, but I won't pay a set price for a mod that may not even be supported in future updates. This is worse than DLC.

All the mods that I used to use cost money now. SO in order to continue using them I must pay for them. That is crap... :/

I really don't like this idea at all. It seems like people can take advantage of this and basically ruin the workshop. Whatever, I have faith in Valve so hopefully everything will be a-ok
