Reply to Re: So, Valve made a option to sell mods with money at Steam Workshop

It would be the same if they did this when Skyrim was new.
It's not just the fact Skyrim's mods have been free all this time, it's that mods in general have been free for several years.
The pay-what-you-want model could work, maybe, with the minimum prize set to zero? That's kind of like donations, but it's more effective at guilting buyers into giving some money to the developer, rather than paying nothing.
If paid mods have the option of paying nothing, I'll just do that and urge everyone else to do the same. Neither Valve nor Bethesda deserve money for mods. And this was Bethesda's idea from the start. I already wasn't going to get the next Elder Scrolls since Skyrim was so utterly godawful, but now I'm fully against the company. So against it, in fact, that I must also urge everyone here to never pay them a cent again.
They release unfinished games and let the community do the rest. Now they're making money off of nearly free labor (although it might as well be free since the modder barely gets paid).
