Why are people complaining about paid mods? Doesn't the money go to the devs?

they don't complain about paid mod (see starcraft 2, dota, tf2, etc ...)

They complain about paid mod in a culture that was established on free sharing and building on others works to improve technique. Now It will render technical advancement (such as the hack to multithread in creation kits) trade secrets and promote walling, leading to useless competition and drama and pandering to a market, hence the heat death of creativity and improving.

would be a real shame if that happened. the elder scrolls mod community was always one of the very best and mods are one of the main reasons many ppl play these games (on pc at least).

some big modders (the developers of enderal for instance) have already vowed to stay free tho.

with furry characters there's no uncanny valley; it's more like an uncanny infinite slope that just keeps getting steeper and steeper into unfathomable depths

Its ridiculous to get angry about mod developers charging for their mods.

If someone creates something and wants to sell it then its awesome that they can sell their own content easily. If setting a price tag destroys the culture and community of mods, then it wasn't a very strong culture to begin with.

The price tag won't destroy the culture and community, but it will make the industry much more likely to exploit it.



On another note, Possible Far Cry 4 spoilers ahead...

So, in Far Cry 4 if you do as Pagan Min says at the very beginning of the game and wait at the table for him, for around 15 minutes, it triggers an alternate ending (basically causing you to beat the game in 20 minutes) which throws into question a lot of the things you would otherwise be doing if you didn't wait at the table and escaped like the game makes you assume you are supposed to.

There are a lot of other little Easter eggs like that throughout the game, for example in when you are "supposed" to kill certain notable characters (the game even puts your gun out setting you up for it) if you wait 30 seconds your character will instead tell them to leave and never come back.

All throughout the game the game points to you killing Pagan Min in the final act, which you can do, but you can also wait and trigger a different and more illuminating end, at which point the game makes you think you are letting Pagan Min go but you can abruptly change your mind and without any prompting gun him down anyways.

More games really need to take this route (and push it further). It's not huge decision making going on, it is very subtle decision making most players won't even realize they can make. It makes taking a moment to decide rather acting on impulse feel much more rewarding.

I triggered the 15 minute wait ending this morning, thus just about wrapping up my time with the game. I've beat the game a few times over now and I am working my way through the Yeti DLC. It is a pretty awesome game, even despite essentially being Far Cry 3 with a new paint job. It's story won't win any awards any time soon I am sure, but it was pretty enjoyable regardless and had some interesting characters.

Okay, you're safe now...

I don't see that as a problem. The problem is that most of the money doesn't go to the modder.

and they don't get any money until they reach 100$ ... which is insane when you know they get 25% of the price set. It mean for a 4€ you get 1€ per purchase.

Not as fun as you might think, even back in the day. Of all the "watch games" I played by far my favorite was this one which I can't remember the name of but very much reminds me of Panzer Dragoon (I love that series).

i had some tiger handhelds as a kid. they were all crap. some of of them i couldnt even figure out how to play. i also had some nintendo game&watches (the keychain reiusses not the originals) and they were so much better it wasnt even funny. my faves were the sidescrolling zelda one and the mario bros featuring PROCEDURAL LEVEL GENERATION
