Paid Mods.

Steam Workshop paid mods. It's a big issue with a lot of different factors. Hard to explain, but in short, Modders are getting shafted very badly, earning only 25% and only getting paid when they are due $100, there is no protection verses thieves stealing your mod and profiting off it themselves, Bethesda and Valve completely control the mod after you start charging people for it, and shared assets are no longer a thing because no one will let other profit with pieces of their work (almost all advance mods use borrowed assets from other mods! It's what allows innovation)

The Modder, apart from a very rare few, will unlikely ever actually get much money, but Valve will be lining their pockets.

The buyer is screwed over because now they must pay for mods that were free, if an update makes a mod break they can't do anything, the refund period is too short to test mods in, they must pay for not only 1 mod they like, but 3 or more other to make it work, and all the mods are so overpriced you will probably spend more money on mods than the game.

Despite the buyer paying for mods, most of the time the money will be unlikely to ever go to the Modder. There is no benefit to the buyer.

The community is screwed over because now people won't share or help each other, any development discoveries will be kept secret, Nexus will likely be muscled out out by Steam Workshop, giving Valve another monopoly PC market, mod piracy will be a thing, free mods will have POP UPS asking to upgrade to the paid version (this already happened) and the modding culture that has been giving out free content for 2 decades will die. Thousands of mods have already been hidden on the nexus and moved over exclusively to SW to charge people, or out of fear of them being stolen.

In short, everyone loses, only Valve and Bethesda really win... and not really Bethesda, since they will likely have reduced sales next TES or Fallout game. Valve weren't at all prepared to combat the issues that paid mods would cause, and they wouldn't have cared unless there was this big ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

My former review before I changed it was: It's Skyrim. You know where you stand.
