i hate thieves selling other peoples work as there own

 

maybe loverslab should have it so mods have copyright on them so if someone sells a mod thats not theres the law gets involved or better yet someone find the fuckers house lets ransack it and sell there shit off on the black market let them see what its like to be ripped off

Having said that, i do want to make something clear: You can in fact get a full refund on a mod within 24 hours of your purchase. So you can download it, test it, and if it's not up to snuff you can get a refund.

 

 

Okay, there's no way that I can wrap that around my mind. How can you refund a mod? lol

 

 

You know how many people are going to do that and just redistribute it with friends? Then it turns around and the author, valve and beth isn't making much, but here you have a download count that states otherwise.

Funniest thing is Nexus, sheepishly nodding in approval in front of everything they worked against (kind of). 

Well, Dark0ne blogs about it and his Nexus sheep starting bleating that they don't like the idea.  Then Gopher uploads a one-sided dialogue to address the fears of said sheep...and 24 hrs later the announcement is made on Steam.  That makes me think Dark0ne had advanced warning.

I agree with the people that have mention the "donate button" i feel that people are more likely to give money to help if they dont feel pressured into it like some people on naughty machinima ask you to " support them" on patreon and because people like their work and want to help they donate a small amount because they know that they get back is free to watch i think that this is a area of the market that is not good for making money (modding i mean) but thats just me

That's exactly the point i made in my post. People will just download it, make a copy, get a refund, and distribute.

 

maybe nexus is planning something similar...

The Nexus has already made it very clear they won't ever charge for anything. Donations is as far as it goes.

Hi, I'm making a pastebin gathering all possible issues there are with this just for the sake of convinience, and I was wondering if you guys minded if I 'borrowed' your posts to use on as argument. Namely a few such as saying it'll turn making mods into a competition. :)

Well donations is as far as they will go (for now). WIth the Nexus adds being blocked, I'm sure D0 will fall into being a part of making profit in this.

Go ahead if I said anything the like.

I think think nexus will ever charge for mods because of legal reasons. Steam gets away with it because it is backed by major cooperations (Valve and Bethesda). Who is backing the Nexus? The moment they charge for mods (which is by all rights illegal because mods consist out of assets you don't own) is the moment they will be sued and shutdown.

I don't know what the site rules are about taking posts from here and pasting them somewhere else, but I don't care if you use anything I've said here.  If I didn't mean it and believe it, I wouldn't have posted it to begin with.

 

Of course anything I say has a miasma hanging over it so you might not want to use my name.  I'm wildly entertaining, but not very popular.  :D  Is my onus.

Well, if Bethesda is smart, they won't turn Nexus down. Why? Nexus have over a million users. So what could happen instead? Nexus makes profit and gives Bethesda a percentage out of it. It's a win win. It would be stupid to turn that down as a Corporation. If Beth is turning around and going against their terms on letting us make profit from their property, they can make arrangements with Nexus.

 

It's potential profit. And I'm not worried about the amount of users vs. the one's who leave. There are thousands of die hard Nexus fans.

At least we are allowed to discuss things openly here, not like at Nexus where they have locked down many of the threads "till things cool off".  I'm sure it was to quiet things down because people were calling each other some really bad names.   Here's what I take away from all of this:   Everyone, EVERYONE, is waiting with baited breath to see wether or not these  pay mods are going to make sustainable money.   If they do, then paid modding is here to stay until the hobby gets destroyed, just like Kendo discussed.  What I am going to do, and I recommend to everyone, is NOT to BUY a SINGLE freaking mod.  Ever.  For any reason.   As soon as the profit model for pay mods shows that it cost more to promote it than was taken in,  paid mods will become a thing of the past.

P.S.  I looked at Totalbiscuits video, and I'm glad he's got an opinion.  Same as Gopher.  But in the end they both are pie in the sky, and I follow more along with Kendo's description of what happened to the Sims.

Well, look on the bright side. It's going to be a much much much more perverted world when people start coming here for free fapping mods.

I can see it already. Fallout 4 announced on PC, PS4 and Xbone, with mods on consoles :P Remember how they wanted to get mods on last gen consoles before skyrim launched? There is no way Sony and Microsoft wont try and get in on this.

Maybe it's just the direction the online world is heading whether we like it or not. It will rebalance it self eventually SecondLife went through all this stuff, with selling content for money vs free stuff.

In the end it depends on quality, people will pay something for good modders work.

For some modders they may spend their whole days modding and make a living from it, for others they may just make enough money to keep them motivated or buy some better modding tools.

 

$1 T-shirt mod.

"I paid Steam $1 and all I got was this lousy virtual T-shirt" :)

I bet you FO4 GECK and future Beth games that use a hard coded program for mod developing will cost money.
