Paid mods? in the forum
Elder Scrolls
While people complain about modders getting 25% only you still have to consider that before they got nothing. Well done mods are going to get lots of downloads and perhaps even make back the money and time poured into them. Obviously Steam/Valve did this because of the popularity of Skyrim. Consider that a game that came out 3 or so years ago is still one of/the most popular Steam Games is really something. This brings me onto my next point. Fallout 4 and Elder Scrolls 6 are coming, no question about that. With the new capabilities of next gen consoles the next games will be incredible. The fact that a game for ps3 and xbox360 consoles can almost be compared to current gen games is very impressive and I believe the next games are going to really impress and blow everyone's mind. Valve/Steam are most likely to do the same get paid for mods system for Elder Scrolls 6 and possibly Fallout 4 depending on it's success. I believe this may set up a whole new business idea of skilled modders creating mods for popular games. This is definitely good and although Valve/Steam are being a bit greedy it is still something. In the end it creates a small monetary incentive which rewards modders and may persuade those possibly thinking of modding.
