Gabe Newell Says Valve Will Dump Paid Mods If They're Bad for Gamers

Valve CEO Gabe Newell said that if the new Steam program that allows users to sell mods instead of just giving them away for free turns out to be bad for gamers, the company will ditch the idea. "Our goal is to make modding better for the authors and gamers," Newell said in a after claims that it contained the work of another modder. Newell didn't seem concerned about cases like that becoming too common. "This is a straight-forward problem," he said. "Between ours and the community's policing, I'm confident that the authors will have control over their creations, not someone trying to rip them off." As for the current revenue split on paid Skyrim mods, which gives the creator of the mod only a 25 percent share of sales, Newell said: "The pay-outs are set by the owner of the game that is being modded. As I said elsewhere, if we are censoring, it's dumb, ineffective, and will stop."

Skyrim Fansite writes: "Paid mods in Skyrim roll out today in a controversial new Steam Workshop program.
Beginning today, a new Steam Workshop feature allows modders to charge for their Skyrim creations. This is a huge change from what weve all become accustomed to as far as mods go. Sure, modders have always had the option to ask for donations to help support the time and effort it takes to create new mods, items, and maps. But in its purest form, modding has always been about the love of the game."
