Paid mods

[Rararboker]

Skyrim Nexus is way better than the steam store if you want to support mod authors. They take 0% of the donation from the author.


Fuck steam.

"content" is a very generous way of describing 99% of what's on the paid mod marketplace. go ahead and click here and filter for paid mods. it's just a shitload of $1.99 for a sword graphic or $2.50 to animate fishing skill.

i don't think anyone would oppose a mandatory payment for a massive mod with tons of playable content, quests, voice acting, etc

shit works for cs:go and dota 2. 1-2 years down the road 90% of user created mods will be for sale only. The developer wins by not having to produce their own content and the mod/graphic makers win by profiting from their work. Currently, the consumers are winning by getting free content without paying for it.

wait does it say they are going to take 75% of the cut? that seems like more than is usual..

I think this is a great thing, game development, modding, all of it is hard work.. people will spend more on coffee than they will on video games and that is bad.

There will never again be a new engine published by Valve with a vibrant, revolutionary free modding scene.

Remember when Morrowind had hundreds of mods lovingly created for free by fans of the game? Some of the mods were extensive and very high quality, others were simple reskins. I have hundreds of mods for that game including some with lots of scripting and even custom voice recordings. For free.
