Paying for mods

I don't mind paid mods as a concept existing but official storefronts and publishers should not be part of the equation in any fucking form

They were too based for this world

I think the system should exist in some form, but nobody has done it right
>If a mod maker wants to monetize their mods, they should be allowed to, but they should get at least 90% of the profits
>If a mod maker doesn't want to monetize, they should be allowed to and have access to the same tools and servers as the other mod makers

that paid mods have been a thing since the very beginning, you zoomie zooms wouldn't know.

schizo

>oh no
*oh yes
Bethesda literally did it again and was successful at it.

creation club

>what the fuck were they thinking?

probably thinking about currency

Paid mods are fine, just not in the way Bethesda mods work, plugin based mods just don't work in a quantity to quality ratio because you get flooded with shit, that was the real problem.

People were selling fucking apples and Star Wars licensed armors and nobody wanted to do quality control.

>nu-Zig Forums actually likes paid mods

>sony cuckold trying to frame Valve as the villains

the company isn't providing a service you ape, they're forcing themselves as a middleman
any mod seller can go sell their fucking mod right now and they have for years, sims patreons have been a thing for like a decade

Why should we make everything about money? Oh right *rubbing hands*

>>If a mod maker wants to monetize their mods, they should be allowed to, but they should get at least 90% of the profits
lol no. you think writing some spaghetti code and doing some hack shit in BETHESDA'S OWN Software entitled you to 90%? Bethesda don't even get that for selling the game on steam. modders get 50% and are happy with it because it's 50% that they would have had to earn by selling their boypussies and sucking dick for previously.

>any mod seller can go sell their fucking mod right now
Modmakers can only sell their skills as a modder, if they want to sell mods themselves, they'll get C&D'd in a heartbeat

>PAID MODS BAD
This isn't 1992 where you could download DOOM wads for free grandpa, I want quality mods that only money can buy

I would be alright with paid mods if the money went 100% to the creator and not a penny to the game publisher

if people make shits mods and ask for money, let them. because if nobody downloads shit mods, sure as shit nobody is going to be buying them.

>I want quality mods that only money can buy

You are just getting scammed retard, a modder that wants money will only release shit.

she cute

Paid mods could've convinced more devs to open up their games for modding, it's effectively outsourcing content and Bethesda have been doing it for years

Retard logic

Just put your paypal or some fuck in the description for optional donations. When mods are free then only passionate people do mods because there's nothing for talentless jewlords to gain. With paid shit you're just opening flood gates to people spamming low quality trash in hopes of getting 1$ off of it.

Who made the game they're building off of?

>Pay for mods
>Mods born to fix the mess of games like Skyrim
>Basically are community fixes and esthetic shit made from fans to fans (which you can tip for their shit)
>Corpo looks it and seethes with the power of thousand suns because they fixed and enhanced the game
>Musta git cash of it
>Adds launcher and "certiffied" mods (without paying shit to their original creation)
>Zoomers suck and gulps the bait

That's why we can't have nice things

sad cause true

fucking retards paying thousands for shit that used to be free

Never used a mod manager or know any modder in it's misserable life

Your daddy's CC is not your money anyways

This was undeniably a Bethesda move. Valve are faggots for following the lead but note that valve was smart enough to completely fucking drop the notion of paid mods while Bethesda and even THOSE FAGGOTS AT THE NEXUS keep trying to sell mods for "a cup a cawfee"

>guys make a bunch of maps and are about to release them for free
>John Romero makes it a non-free product instead
What the fuck?! But Zig Forums told me that this only happens in the modern era and that I'm supposed to be mad about how things aren't the way they were in the good old days!

>Spend 100 dollars on mods
>They aren't compatible with eachother and cause CTD
Bravo Todd

WHY THE FUCK ARE THEY "MODS" IF WE'RE PAYING FOR THEM. JUST RELEASE THEM AS OFFICIAL DLC IF YOU WANT MONEY FOR THEM. WHAT THE FUCK

The move that permanently fractured the modding community. New Vegas was the peak of modder cooperation

creation club mods are bad even by free mod standards.
>reskins of base game content or ports from other games
>basic weapon/armor/npc addons that are lazily dropped directly into your inventory or quest log with no meaningful integration into the game
>tons of compatibility issues despite being "bug free official content"
