PAY-FOR MOD SYSTEM REMOVED
VALVE APOLOGIZES
Incoming: people like Chesko or FMPONE saying they "deserve" compensation for their work, and swearing off uploading to the Steam Workshop again.
YES
Guess what's coming back for Fallout 4?
Honestly I hope people you stated to boycott Valve/Steam because of this continue to do so. Valve really needs a wake up call to get better quality control on Steam as for a long time they have just been resting on there reputation despite the fact that the quality of Steam and there handling of consumer support has been pure ****.
Were the paid mods just removed from the Workshop altogether? I clicked on one earlier to look at it and it just redirected me to an error page. Go to click on another one and they're all gone when I refresh the Workshop page.
It'd be a great April Fools'.
Holy ****** **** wat
Dear Valve:

That's nice to hear.
We won!
For now.
"Night gathers, and now my watch begins."
This isn't over by a long shot I feel. But I'm happy this went our way for now.
Personally I was never against paid mods as a concept, I just thought that the modders should get a larger chunk of the revenue, and the Valve should actually spend some of the money they earn from this policing their storefront. But if they try this again later, at least they probably won't do a *worse* job of implementing this system than they did the first time, right! Right? :/
I don't get the constant slamming of the modders. They made those mods because they are fans of the games and one day Bethesda e-mails them about their mod and that they want to work with them. Imagine that, the company who is responsible for making their favorite game e-mails them. Regardless of what they have done, refusing that kind of cooperation requires unrealistic amounts of awareness and constraint.
Anyway, I didn't like the whole pay-for-mods thing, but the more disgusting thing to me is the amount of flak these modders got. They put out some seriously good work in the past and this is how you treat them?
Christ. did not expect this. The biggest take away is Valve needs to reassess their QA for Steam. i mean they really need to.

Spare us all the guilt trip, dude.
^Spare being whackos for once would be nice. I don't mind criticizing terrible decisions (it was) but to send death threats is way beyond reasonable.

Lol, who the hell was sending death threats? Of course that's ridiculous. Don't lump reasonable folks in with the crazies.
Is it safe to assume that the Gaben/Valve fanboys are going to go crawling back just like the Xbox crowd did?
