On one hand, it's neat for creators to get paid. Thou I think just leaving this kind of thing as a "tip" style would of been the best option. Better yet, if modders are that popular, I'd rather give them money directly then let valve take the majority of the cash.

However, Steam taking a cut, not giving you the cash till you get 100$+ on your products and the numerous issues with people using copyrighted content, borrowing from other peoples mods and claiming it as ones own.
Then things like how would they handle the lewd mods just screams bad idea to me.

This just seems like one hell of a hassle to manage and considering valve can barely keep greenlight from not looking like a "give us money to be scammed" section of the service this just feels like someone went full retard without thinking about the downsides.

I eagerly await the day people Pirate mods for games while Steam is flooded with mod mafias akin to the dota 2 workshops

It would be positive if it bring more "expansion" type dlc. Similiar to Falkreach but paying 1$ for a fucking sword has to be joke.

The first thing I want you to ask yourself Marmy is that, what is the worst thing that could possibly happen? Now is that actually that bad? Because flubbing a couple of quizzes really isn't a big deal. Not to mention, you have the opportunity to earn some extra credit, and you have the highest grade in the class. Also the fact that you even asked if you could do something about it puts you much further ahead than most of the kids in your grade.

I know in High School I absolutely bombed my English Diploma (my English final for grade 12). And I thought that was going to end me, but it turns out that it didn't matter at all. Sometimes the things we get worked up about or stressed about really aren't things we need to lose sleep over. Don't you worry we'll all float on!

I know where you're coming from with Soccer interfering with your school work. Same thing happened to me in Grade 12, I had to choose between either my academic career or pursuing my career in competitive swimming. I choose to focus on school, and my abilities in swimming suffered greatly for it. While I don't regret my decision at all (life's too short to have regrets) sometimes you need to make those choices.

It's okay Marmy, one year from now you'll look back on this and laugh!

My biggest issue is Valve takes like 75% of the cut and holds onto your money until you make a certain amount. That's not helping the modders, that's robbing them blind under the guise of exposure.

Not to belittle your problem, but when you look back at it from 5 years from now you'll realize how little it meant. This coming from a dude who randomly got a D in AP spanish despite not having anything lower than a B in all of my other classes.

I guarantee you if I ever got a D in a class, I would never be allowed to visit Teamliquid again. Complete shutdown.


Also, hi from Reno~
Round two of the Reno Jazz Festival, hoping to do better than last year. It'd be nice if Reno wasn't such a shithole though. Literally the wasteland toilet of Las Vegas.

From what I can tell moders get around 25% the rest goes to steam/developer which seems reasonable. The thing is it needs to get a big for it to be worth it to make good DLC. Having a cut off his helpful to stop shitty mods being but up (though it will probably just mean the will be more spammers or unions)

My parents are happy I'm not dead in a ditch somewhere, oh the pleasure of having parents who feel guilty about how poorly they brought me up LOL

I didn't fuck up that bad.... I just did really bad on a couple of quizes. I talked with my teacher though and he said I could get points back by doing some extra thing. The only reason he is letting me get points though is becuase I had the highest grade in the class and that soccer is getting in the way of every single fucking thing in my life right now....

In what world is 25% reasonable? Mods increase game life, and it should be more 60/40 or an even split. The devs have well and moved on and steam hosting the content and acting as middleman isn't worth 75% of a price. You're just going to see people either jack up the price to reflect such or set up a donate button or some such and cut out the middleman all together leaving steam with trying to most likely kick off the folks who do this and good luck with trying to manage that.
Conversely, piracy of the most popular mods undermining the entire thing anyway.

They are using someone elses IP, engine and platform to sell mods on. Making money on modding without consent from the developer is illegal.

Its not really a legally grey area as they pay the developer to sell their mods.

Don't they have this already for Dota2, CS:GO and TF2?

Also the GoT things in CKII can be C&D if they want because it is infringing.
