Valve is such a shit company, I don't know why anyone defends them.

The only games they make are low budget mods or rehashes of older games and they only make the game if they can figure out a way to put in some retarded cash shop for little virtual goods.

Then they try to get money off of the free work of modders for a game they didn't even make.

Valve just sits back and takes money from retards without doing any work at all.

The implementation was wrong but there's no problem with charging for mods in principle. It's essentially outsourced DLC. The people who are against it tend to misinterpret it as "now I have to pay for a thing I was getting for free". They fail to understand paid mods would raise the quality and quantity of mods. And if you don't like paying you can probably still pirate them anyway.
>>
>i-i-it would raise the quality of mods!
It'll end up like DLC and everybody gets overcharged for less and less content. They were already selling single armor sets and weapons for $2.

That's a best case scenario. Just think about how DLC is now. Bethesda made horse armor to test the waters, and it was universally despised. Although they've never made such a shit DLC since, every other company has. Paid mods will be the same. A few good things, but mostly single weapon or armor mods. While there will be some great expansion-like mods, there already are some of them being made now.

Pick any industry you want. Now take money out of the equation and consider how it would fare. How would videogames be right now if no one was allowed to charge money for them? How would they be and who would be making them? You would probably have a lot less of them and of more questionable quality. maybe you think they'd be good but regardless they would probably be nothing more than whatever a man can manage to squeeze out from his free time. So back to reality: if those games are good then why don't companies sell you the 1 hobbyestman vidya dev game? Probably because the other company hired 2 hobbyestmen and now their game has more whistles so they're all buying theirs instead.
Mods are undeniably and unavoidable subject to the same rules were they to be a paid product, and so would anything else that made the same transition, because that is simply the nature capitalism.

>>340441627
It's not exactly a best case scenario, it's more like unavoidable commercial darwinism. Anyone who has any intention of making a living out of it is forced to make a better product than their competition.

>>340443131
it's not a dying art for Bethesda games because Bethesda is good about releasing mod tools for their games. skyrim grew to be one of the biggest modding platforms gaming has ever seen in just a few short years without a single paid mod. we don't need paid mods for growth, we need mod tools.

the reason mods are dead for other companies is that they don't release mod tools or even ALLOW mods. the battlefield series used to be known for its great mods, but that series hasn't had a mod for it for any game after battlefield 2 because DICE has become so strict about what they allow. the story is similar with other franchises.

Fuck you man. Mods don't need fucking developer teams. That's what DEVELOPERS are for.
So far mods have subsisted on mom-and-pop DOES-IT-FOR-FREE work since their conception. In fact it's THRIVED on it- the inherent cooperation and non-existent barrier to entry resulted in a huge plethora of unrestricted, highly-inter-related creative content.
People collaborated and made shit they wanted, exactly how they wanted it, just for the sake of doing so.

Injecting competitive forces into such a system would SHUT DOWN the cooperation that made it great, completely overriding it with toxic capitalist bullshit- niggers stealing others' work and pushing out garbage mods in an effort to make a quick buck.
Because they don't give a shit about the game, or the community, or their own fucking experience- they don't even fucking play the game.
They're just in it for the money.

And there's no way such an 'industry', fuck you for trying to make it into one, could support more than one or two of your paid mod teams.
Everything would be made by some random asshole or another who have to DRAG themselves to the computer to put in the same amount of time and effort an autist who actually plays the game would (and does) put in willingly.

Because mods are not multi-million-dollar products. They don't need to be, they never were. The few pieces of official DLC a company puts out already fill the niche you want to overstuff through destroying the already-existing modding ecosystem. There's NO NEED for it.
Stop trying to wring more money out of the players you fuck.

But acting like Titan Quest (released in 2006) being on sale for cheap in 2010 is some kind of impressive sale makes you a fucking retard

>It's not exactly a best case scenario, it's more like unavoidable commercial darwinism. Anyone who has any intention of making a living out of it is forced to make a better product than their competition.

You're one of the dumbest motherfuckers I've seen here.

You seriously think money makes people work harder and better? What about every AAA video game, movie, or television show that still had poor quality and also sucked ass, but not only made money hand over fist, but paid the people working on it a lot of dosh?

There's TONS of video games that have shit quality, where the employees who made it got paid a pretty great paycheck, and the game made money anyway.

People are fucking retarded and if they have money, will buy whatever low-quality garbage you produce no matter what. As it stands, mods for games like Skyrim or Fallout 4 are already pretty quality enough, with constant updates to fix or add things, and they're ALL free.

I don't see any reason those people would work harder if there were a pricetag and a check in the mail every time. In fact, that creates a sort of job security, which would probably make them lazier. They'd just make small updates or mods that were broken up so they can charge more (just like real companies and DLC).

That's why mod shouldn't be sold. They aren't dlc. Mods aren't guaranteed to work. There's no quality standard. They aren't guaranteed to work with other mods. There's no guaranteed that mods that are broken will be fixed later on.
>>
>>340445915
Yeah? And modding is free? Once you start selling it, it becomes a product, and should be judged by the standards of a product, i.e. it should be complete and functional at release, and it shouldn't be broken by official patches or other paid mod products.

To be fair, the AMERICANS in the 1940s despised the jews. even American ambassador Dodd to Germany discusses the "Jewish problem" with several of his compatriots and the Fuhrer himself.

Dodd was reported to have claimed that there were, in fact, too many jews working in the embassy.

Starsector is a good example of Modders working together as a community. Every time a new update comes for the game they all work at updating their shit. They even have community mods that balance and unify everything to work at the same time to give dozens of fresh new factions to play as or against.
All this, for free. And really it's quite a lot too, if the makers had made it themselves, it'd all be DLC content worth 5-10 bucks a faction.
>>
>>340448843
And mods can be broken by other mods. And mods can be dependant on other mods, forcing you to buy the others first.
Putting Mods to the same standards as paid products breaks the modding community. This kills the man.

Yeah no. Have you ever played something like Thrawn's Revenge or Historical Immersion Project? They were done for free and basically turn shitty games into amazing ones.

Giving content creators a platform to monetize their work is a good idea. They executed it badly, but it's still a good idea that will eventually be done right. The issue in this case was the lack of quality control/IP protection, combined with a fractured modding community that was all too eager to try to monetize anything and everything.

$99.99? What a steal!

It was PC Gamers being very against it that caused them to take it down

Bless that man, his trolling was exquisite.
>>
>>340453489
We already have the only monetization platform that's compatible with modding culture- donations. Anything more is anathema.
We don't need quality control systems or goddamned IP protection, get out of here with that toxic shit.

I would have broken any mod I made into seperate pieces and charged through the nose for each part while hosting the full version for free elsewhere to see who would be dumb enough to pay for it.

I don't remember a single person on /v/ "defending" that horse shit.

Nice try. Go back to /vg/

For one of the most modded games of all time it seems to lack mods that improve the gameplay. And being an action rpg it's action kind of sucks. Are there any good combat overhauls that make the combat fun?
>>
>>340433035
Reminder Valve pulled it the moment people didn't like it.

Based Valve, any other company would have ignored the complaints.
>>
>>340457191
Bethesda got cold feet since Fallout 4 was barreling down they pipes and they COULD NOT afford a controversy fucking up their pre-orders.
Valve would have duked it out since they have almost nothing to lose.
>>
>>340457051
>Are there any good combat overhauls that make the combat fun?
To make that possoble they would have to rebuild the game from the ground up, essentially making an entirely new one. Skyrim is a first person shooter with melee options, nothing can change that sadly.

There are a couple that improve it, but most of the overhauls introduce shit like flipping & acrobatic bullshit.
An absolute-must though is TK recoil/hitstop.

I bet removing the aggro and bounty on werewolves with a toggle would be fun for a while, probably too overpowered though
