How is it bad though? People underestimate the willingness of consumers to pay for quality content. I mean just look at Kickstarter or Patreon. I think paid mods are pretty great. Now they just have to find a way to do it right and most importantly convenient.

Maybe we need a unified platform rather than a system by a specific gaming company. An open marketplace for mods with a client that allows for easy modding.

As I said, I have zero confidence in Bethesda and what will this new business will mean for modders that don't want to take part on it.

Time will tell what happens but, given what we saw when Steam tried it, I'm not optimistic.

Bethesda or Valve don't have to be involved at all. It can be an independant store front where people put their stuff and then the game owners can go there and get their share but are not directly involved with the mod creators.

Why it would have any effect on modders who give away their stuff for free I don't know.
