You didn't predict anything. Your hate for Steam has always been very vague. Looks like to me you're just using this to pretend you knew all along.

This isn't something I don't think people saw coming. I mean, these are mods. Since Doom, mods have been free and for the community as a fun project. Who would've ever thought you could make money from it (not that you can get any decent pay from Steam)?

There's no way you predicted it from the ability to lend, borrow, and trade games. First of all, you could never lend or borrow a game from another user. The trade ban is only for certain regions like Russia who are having a financial weird-duck, so it was put in place to prevent Russians from buying up a huge stock easily and trading them around. Not really an issue. It will probably be lifted or changed somewhat whenever Russia's currency isn't worth a million planets.

But aside from that, yes. Pay for mods is very bad. A very prominent modder, Chesko, has bought into this scam and the more prominent a user, the more successful this will be for Valve. Hopefully Chesko will see how bad this is along with whoever else is stupid enough to fall for this trick.
