Since DLC is on the way out, I guess it was inevitable that someone would try to monetize mods. If the idea of "supporting modders" or "breathing new life into Skyrim" is what you were hoping for, then get ready for dissapointment. The new pay-for Workshop items is a cancerous addition to Steam's already dimming reputation and Bethesda's desperate attempts to earn a quick buck off of other people's work. Modders who use the system not only see 25% of ALL income from it, but may have their mods stolen, reused or plagarized on a lawless "first come, first served" content system. Valve and Bethesda have mad e the decision to divide the community in half and force the community to move towards the broken Steam Workshop system for Skyrim.

Already there's mods removed from the Nexus in either protest or in order to force users to pay for half-functional, minor mods that charge too much for what they offer. No one has profited from this change, and the players who wish to play Skyrim, the game that was *Idolized* for its modding scene, are the biggest losers in this colossal failure of a move. We haven't seen Valve blunder this hard since Greenlight first went up.

Do not support Valve or Bethesda making money off other people's work. This kind of nickel and diming, like pre-orders and DLC is what is poisoning modern gaming. Skyrim is only the first.
