Steam lets modders sell their wares, starting with 'Skyrim'

4.6
Valve's move to start selling community-created mods on its PC-game storefront looks like it could boost that $57 million user payout from earlier this year. And it's starting with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim -- one of the most popular moddable games. The process sounds pretty easy as Valve tells it, too. Upload your tweak to the Skyrim Creation Kit, agree to the new Steam Workshop terms, enter payment info and set your creation free. Within the week, it'll go up for sale at a price of your choosing. You can even add revenue splitting if you're working with a team and generally control the whole process from start to finish.

Rin The beginning of the end of PC gaming. Don't know what Valve and Bethesda were thinking when they put this in.


Bethesda ? are you mentally retarded ? they gave the option to create free mods, but IT IS the Modders choice whether to charge for it. same does with the system on steam right now. it has nothing to do with Bethesda. AND IT PISSES ME OFF WHEN A RETARD THINKS SO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RIP PC GAMING. Instead of paying for the mods there should be a donate button on their steam page.

I'm really not sure what to think of this. I saw someone say something on Reddit about Valve should be hiring popular modders to work for there company and then they sell there mods but all the other ones should be free and that's really what they should be doing.
