That's awful!
Regarding the paid mods debate, I'm sorry if I seem negative, but this discussion is taking place too many years late. Paid mods are not a future, but a very real present.
I've been posting articles about mods locked behind a Patreon wall for years now, most of them being character swaps. And yes, yes, I know that those mods are not the same as a mod that adds DLSS or new missions to a game, but the truth is that a paid mod is a paid mod, no matter what it's about, and since people didn't complain about those, things escalated until what we have today.
And if that's not enough, take this into consideration: PureDark made over $40K in a month thanks to the Starfield mod (source here). Have you never heard that condescending saying about turning your hobby into your job? Well, that's what's happening here, and it will be almost impossible to stop it from spreading.
The only positive or "light at the end of the tunnel" outlook here is, quite sarcastically, the greed of the publishers: few of them will allow that modders make money out of their work without getting some revenue out of it. Bethesda has already tried to get some of that money twice, and that's before modders started charging for their work. You can be sure as hell that Bethesda, and others, will keep trying until they succeed... or sue the modders that get their money into oblivion.
Please excuse my bad English.
