    Not sure why are you against them then. Based on your comments I think you are not against paid mods, you are against companies like Steam or Bethesda taking a cut. Which is exactly my position too, so I’m not sure what are you actually disagreeing with me about.

    Great, this whole discussion is because of your inability to understand my first comment in context, the context of talking about Steam pushing for paid mods. Congratz, you wasted both of our times.

      I understood it perfectly well, and wanted to clarify that it is not the concept of paying for mods that is problematic, but implementations like Steam did.

      Because just saying “the paid mods shit” gives people a wrong idea that giving creators money is a bad thing, when that’s not the problematic part.

      Why you took my “the store shouldn’t get a cut” comment and thought I support stores getting a cut, I have no clue.
