I saw that steam was removing donation links from the descriptions of mods on the workshop, which is pretty disgusting.
steam: "You want something for your mod eh? lol, silly modder. you gotta go through us. Steam needs its cut!"
Mod author: "no no, I don't want anything really. the donation thing is just in case someone really likes it and thinks I should get a little something for it."
steam: "pfft. no. **** that. here's how its going to work. You are going to charge for your mod and we are gonna take a cut. bethesdas gonna get a cut too."
Mod author: "but... I dont want to sell my mod."
steam: "just do it ****, or your not gonna be using the workshop."
Thats how I see it going down anyway.
also thanks for the link to the mod piracy thing caconym.
