| Topic | bethesda added paid mods to fallout 4 today |

Screaming that it would be the end of free mods, and completely ignoring all of the benefits having a compensated supply of quality content creators would bring. Consider what happened with Youtube when people started making money for their videos. We got hours of high quality content, and thousands of people got to make careers out of doing something they love. The biggest difference between this and Youtube is that users don't have to pay for Youtube. Additionally, many modders are already supported to some extent by ad revenue and/or voluntary donations. Charging for mods would provide them with more support, but at considerable cost to the consumers. On top of that, only giving the modder 25% of the fee is just insulting, given how little Valve or Bethesda did for the mod. I think there's probably a good way to improve modders' compensation, but having the game's studio selling mods for it isn't a great way to do it. --- This is my signature.
