So Steam is allowing people to charge for user-created mods... rant or priase away...

Most of all this boils down to: Where do you draw the line between a mod extensive enough to charge for, or not?

 

I do not have any problem with people charging with mods......

.... However the politics when it happens will be enormous..... For example :

- If someone creates a mod thats for sale..... And someone creates a similar one but for free (For example bugfix mods), does this constitute copyright infringement?
- If someone posts a mod that is reliant on another mod...... For example a mod of a total conversion mod.

A lot of these "problems" are sidestepped when it is free, when money is involved, things get dicey quick.

 

Apparently they back peddled on this. Modern gaming at it's finest.
