Now you can buy your mods! Support those modders whether you like it or not!

And remember, :filez: aren't cool, so no talking about pirating these paid mods

The creation of mod piracy is the funniest thing that's going to come out of this.

they get 25% of every purchase, and need at least 100$ worth of purchases before they get any money though. like for midas magic its whatever, they make a solid buck fifty and its actually a good mod, but these swords or whatever that cost 50 cents literally arent worth selling

the train simulator community is all 60 year old men who make trains and tracks for the game and sell them to each other for $40 a pop

I've heard a few reasons why this works

  • The market is very small, and requires a high price point because setting it low would not generate any more sales. Would reducing the price down to $5 make you want to buy virtual trains
  • The more important point: People who play these games are the crazy train dads that have the $30,000 invested into a miniature train world in their basement. To them, spending $2,000 on virtual trains is not that expensive considering they're paying $500 for each real train that doesn't have nearly as much functionality as the virtual trains do.

You guys are overreacting. Those smart people in Games are on the ball.

People deserve to be paid for work, especially if that work is literally "improve a game". If you do not want to pay just don't. I personally know people that will love this - modders in countries with lovely economies will love this.

I wonder if they delayed Attila's workshop for this.

Azran posted:

Reminder that Counter Strike and Killing Floor are mods people have paid money for during a long rear end time.

Steam and Bethesda got together to come up with a plan to charge people for user made mods, and now they're doing it. This isn't a joke, and is actually something which exists, starting today.
