Join Date: Jun 2011 Reputation: 63 Posts: 688 The workshop is a terrible place since it is "working" its way up on charging players alot money once it has enough modders and games integrated with it. Sound familiar? TF 2 store. Except in your mind, you know that the ww they are charging you for SHOULD be free It's like Valve's system of Modern Warfare Elite, except alot lot more minor, but still, it's heading there... Here, take a read: http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/w...legalagreement Quote: Valve may choose to distribute Your Contribution [mods] for free and/or for a fee They're gonna take modders' stuff, and possibly sell them back as "DLC's" This has REALLY HUGE implications on the modding community since modding is free. It's supposed to be free. It's for the good of the gaming community. Mods are supposed to be free fun. It's like going into a sandbox, and they charge you for every grain of sand that is bigger than a certain size, or look different from the average grain of sand Also, the EULA states: Quote: ...If Valve chooses to distribute Your Contribution for a fee, then Valve may set the price for such distribution in its sole discretion, and Valve will pay You as follows, conditioned on Your compliance with the obligations contained in this Agreement. Valve shall pay to You twenty-five percent (25%) of the Adjusted Gross Revenue I'm not against modders making money. I do think they deserve money for their work, but they SHOULD NOT charge players for their work. They should get money in ad revenue or such tactics. Remember? Macho Dragon? Had millions of views on youtube. Millions of views link to download mod ads on link-someone will click on those ads thus making the modder some money in some wa. Or, they can make money in some other non-intrusive way, but as soon as a mod costs just one cent, it ceases to be a "mod"--it would then become a paid downloadable content. Mods are made to change the game to players' liking, not to charge other players for them I don't know, make it what you will, but I'm certain that the workshop idea is stupid, unnecessary, and I sure as hell won't be using it.

![I-l Timestogo 1807 points 1 day ago Isn't the 75% cut seen as a bit high? Also, there were reports of discussions of mods being deleted or not being accessible, are negative discussions being censored permalink -1 GabeNewell Bellevue CONFIRMED VALVE CEO [S] 2511 points 1 day ago The pay-outs are set by the owner of the game that is being modded. As I said elsewhere, if we are censoring, it's dumb, ineffective, and will stop. permalink parent](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/955/302/7c4.png "Apparently, Bethesda is to blame for the massive cut the developers are getting")
