Comment on Steam Workshop Has added support for paid mods

  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

        The only paid mods that Skyrim has are the ones for Creation Club, and I haven’t heard of people getting through the approval process with stolen 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.
