| Machiavellian said: Is paid mods a problem. There are some creators who spend a good bit of time and effort making mods, I do not see any issue if they get some compensation for there efforts. |
Not for me. I personally love the idea that modders are actually getting paid for the work that they do. Todd Howard has even said as much as loving the idea that modders getting to make a living modding Bethesda's games.
Creation Club was divisive from the start. It was always going to be. Especially considering that pretty much anyone who has modded games before has always done it for free. Nexus Mods is still massive and 4 out of the top 5 most downloaded mods on the entire site are Bethesda games. Skyrim Special Edition alone has over 2 BILLION downloads.
So it's kinda like when Nintendo started charging for online multiplayer. Everyone was going "we've been playing multiplayer for free for years now and suddenly you're going to start charging for it?" It just naturally gets some pushback.
This will primarily benefit console users though that will get to experience mods as PC users will just continue to use methods like Nexus Mods.
