The mod community needs to stay open source and free. This way more people will want the game the mod is being made for because it is being supported by donations so the devs get more game sales and Valve gets a cut of the sale. And all donations go directly to the dev. If you really like the developer treat it like a patreon thing or a kickstarter thing, or exactly what it needs to be, a Donation. This is why a donate button is important. For all none Valve games and games that can be bought through other outlets locking in Paid Mods on Steam is wrong on so many levels. However if a mod developer wants to charge for a mod and Nexus has it for free then Legal shit starts happening because now Nexus gets in trouble. The Nexus installer installs free mods (which all mods are generally free anyway). Here is the other problem, what if someone doesn’t have Steam and has a game like Skyrim and uses the Nexus mod installer. For one you are now locking in those mods directly through steam or through other sites that sell the mod codes to play the mod on the game you have on Steam. From several conversations on facebook to conversations with our friends over at Space Game Junkie here are my thoughts.
