It Seem Many PC Gamers does Not like The Idea of Payable Mod on Steam and Have already Sign a Petition

Honestly, I don't like it either... I am not saying that the modders shouldn't be paid for their work cause they certainly should be but it should be optional and not mandatory... Like a donation or a monthly payment that is entirely optional cause the issue with it is that for decades, we have enjoyed mods for free for better or for worse but then charging for something that has been free for so long is kind of nonsense cause of the issues that it will have

The reason being is that mods can have various issues in the future such as if the developer of the game updates the game, it can 100% wreck the mod and cause it to not work anymore and the consumer can't do anything but to hope that the modder will fix it.

On top of that, there will be a bunch of copyright infringement issues when modders clone stuff like Lord of the Rings into games which have gotten taken down in the past. So if a consumer pays for the mods and then the mod gets taken down after a week due to DMCA, the consumer will be fucked. Before, it was not as big of a case because it was considered "non profit" so the companies were more lenient but if people are making money from it, companies will take action if there is any form of copyrighted material and etc. And we are already having issues of other modders "borrowing" stuff from different modders and using it for their own and the list goes on

Valve fucked up imo. They should have introduced an optional payment system instead which goes to the modders and not a mandatory payment method that goes to the mod itself

And I really can't wait until they start charging mods for Mario skins and stuff cause Nintendo's lawyers will be over that like a whore over jizz
