Skyrim - Paid Mod Status Update

In-case  you missed the news yesterday Bethesda and Valve now offer modders the option to sell mods for Skyrim. Lets just say it does not sit well with most gamers.

Still I'm more interested in what the modders think of this so here are a few links. First up we have a new update from the Nexus owner who is not a happy person right now.

Obviously this news has been a huge deal, and probably exploded far more than Valve and Bethesda realised it would (and not particularly positively, lets face it!). Some of the spotlight has been shined on the Nexus as a result of that. Some people have expressed concern we'll go the same way (they obviously don't read the site news) or that it'll affect us negatively some how. Everything you see here is completely free, and it's definitely staying that way. About 40 mods have been hidden in the Skyrim Nexus section since this announcement, most of which are people afraid their mods are going to be stolen and uploaded to Steam for profit.

Next SureAI the team behind Enderal:The Shards of Order posted an update with news they will not be selling the mod. I salute you guys, but still donate if you can.

Short news of the day: We won't sell Enderal via the Steam Workshop. We keep our promise and Enderal will be available for free.

Thanks to a few members we also have a link to Reddit with more modders opinions. Seems this is a PR disaster for Bethesda and Valve. What do you all think?

Update: A petition for removing paid content from Steam Workshop was started.

Thank you Aditya for sending in the link.
