Comment on Steam Workshop Has added support for paid mods

Yeah, that’s sure stopped content mods being ripped off and reuploaded to paid platforms.

This happens every time someone tries paid mods. Someone rips somebody else’s work and profits from it.

Might not stop it, but having an approval process for developers and clear rules will make it harder.

  They’ve had those before and it hasn’t worked. Maybe I’m just cynical, but I’ve never seen an official supported modding marketplace exist without a significant number of free mods being sold as paid by not the original developer

    Which games has this been a problem for?

    Skyrim itself for 1
    
    I’ve seen it with minecraft too, when mod distribution was centralized there was a lot of issues with people reuploading other creators work

  so, it won’t.
  
  reference: every single marketplace that lets anyone upload things that in some way drives revenue back, from app stores, to youtube, to music platforms.
