I understand it is all good intentions from Valve, but they are doing it in a greedy, incorrect way. If modders got more profit, then I'd support it some more. Even if Valve does a great job hosting the content, 75% is loco. Let's hope this does hurt the modding community and modding in general so Valve will reconsider and drop the project before it reaches other games. Mods should be free, add a donation button instead of this farse. Sub-par customer support, Greenlight and now this, is what Valve should fix with Steam right now.
I can only imagine the terror, people ripping off other mod authors creations and putting them up for sale.

From the discussions:
"Gabe, what is Valve doing to address the issues of people ripping mods from places like Nexus and putting them up on the Steam Workshop, even though they didn't make the mod?"
Gabe: "This is a straight-forward problem. Between ours and the community's policing, I'm confident that the authors will have control over their creations, not someone trying to rip them off." It's heavily downvoted.
I encourage everyone here to never buy anything from the mod store as it is now.
