What a great way to ruin a perfectly good modding community.
I'm honestly surprised video game developers haven't started cramming commercials into their games, or start charging you to save or pause.

Ads? Those are probably server owners' ads and they have nothing to do with Valve or Steam.

Sounds like valve's trying to tap into the market of Pc gamers who don't use mods. It is a market that exists mind you, some folks who don't want to risk ****** up their game files for good and are now probably going to have an auto-installer function of steam. Where all you do is push a button, send the money, and boom the mods installed and ready to go, no messing around the game files at all.
I honestly can't see this affecting the normal modding community because Nexus is so huge and established, as well as the host of mods with copyrighted material for armors, weapons, mounts, etc you see popular in skyrim. The only way I see this as going bad, or having any lasting impact other then being that time valve made a couple bucks extra charging the technologically challenged the ability to play with the technically skilled, is if they convince Bethesda or other companys to not allow modding unless its through steams service.
And that'd probably violate trade law on monopolizing some game feature from other competitors and end with a legal nightmare. In short, i doubt this is going to actually catch on.

You know what? I don't feel anything. The games industry has gone to **** and this is the next logical step, I want off this ride.
Go read a book then. it's not like you need DLC to turn the page or have to worry about someones DRM knocking down your door and taking your paperback off its shelf.

Looks like the usual "journalists" and certain communities have already gone back to calling gamers entitled for not liking this...
All of this has happened before, and will happen again...
If calling gamers maurading rapists worse then ISIS didn't do jack ****, I doubt entitlement is really going to sway anyone who wasn't already drinking the koolaid.

Complaining about gas being more expensive then in the old days is entitlement. You should be thanking Conoco for not charging you in first born blood, you pissbaby.

As Bobo mentioned, can you imagine a situation where Bethesda gets a cut every time someone downloads Unofficial Patches?
Let alone the various copyright issues, plagiarism, content wars and bickering this will entail.
If Valve wants to make this work, they need to set out standards to ensure people don't exploit the system. There's nothing stopping someone from downloading a mod, changing some names and functions then reselling it on Steam.
We already have big mods that require/borrow code and functionality from other mods to work. That's fine if it's all free but if one person is profiting from it while the other isn't...
They also need to set out categories that won't be allowed for sale. Utilities, bug fixing, etc. Things that improve basic functionality should not be up for sale.
What about compatibility issues? You could purchase a mod that breaks your game because it conflicts with other mod. And if you can't fix the issue in 24 hours, you've lost your money.
This is greed from Valve and Bethesda pure and simple. Zero quality control, zero safeguards, zero accountability.
Anyone spinning this otherwise is in denial.

As mentioned, those adds are provided by the server you are playing on.
Stop playing on bad servers!

Imagine Bethesda charging us for access to patches to their bug ridden games.
It's bad enough that Bethesda doesn't fix most of their bugs on their own. If we end up having to pay for actual fixes I'm never buying another TES/Fallout game again.

i dont see a problem with properly placed commercials in games, what would be the problem with say, a Pepsi billboard in Battlefield?
EDIT: or with real advertising in all those sports games?

Well the $100 mod was removed from the under review section but there are still offerings like an extra apple at an inn for $30 or three pieces of rubbish on the floor of another inn for $2.50.
*Actually it looks like there is another $100 mod on the list but it's not as funny as the previous $100 one.
