Steam Workshop now allows modders to sell their work

Publishers specify what percentage of the sale modders will get. In the case of Skyrim it's 25 per cent, Valve clarified to Gamasutra. Publishers also have "ultimate discretion" over the initial selling price of a mod. Supplemental Workshop Terms - Revenue Sharing are available on Steam now.

However, Bethesda specified yesterday that it won't exert any curator control over the Skyrim Steam Workshop PC mods. "Unlike other curated games on Steam that allow users to sell their creations, this will be the first game with an open market," Bethesda said. "It will not be curated by us or Valve." The game's Creation Kit has also been updated alongside this new venture to support paid mods. It means, among other things, that file size limits have been removed.

There is a Refund Policy for mods that includes a "Get Refund" button that's usable within 24 hours of buying the mod.

Finally, in an effort to avoid plagiarism, published mods need wait a period of time before a purchase option becomes available. It's Valve's hope that naughty old copycats get caught out before money changes hands. "Newly posted items to be sold must first appear as visible to the community without a purchase option before they can be sold," said Valve's Doug Lombardi on PC Gamer. "This will provide some time for the community to help identify abuse or stolen content and report appropriately. It's also a time that developers can use to review pending items and decide if any intervention is necessary." And if that doesn't stop them, a DMCA (The Digital Millennium Copyright Act) notice may.

NO. No one wants to pay for mods, and now because of this, sh*tty, rushed mods will be the only thing ever seen since the creators work for money instead of passion.

Your attracting attention from "PC master race" morons.
By the way, just because ONE developer fucks up, doesn't make an entire platform terrible. Your are over simplifying it.
I am both a console and PC gamer and love them both to death, don't question me.
And to settle everyone's "I'M BETTER THEN YEW" selfishness, the only reason "PC" is always said to be the most powerful is because COMPUTERS are constantly evolving. "PC" is simply a reference to the operating system Windows, another over simplified term.
PC master race doesn't exist, Macintosh master race doesn't exist, console master race doesn't exist. They're computers, they evolve, nothing more is needed to be said. Consoles are far slower in evolving because they are more of a one time buy deal, once you buy them, they try to stay solid to save the consumers money. As for PC/MAC, they are usually for the bunch of people who are more interested in hardware and would like to explore the evolving and history of hardware. This does have some drawbacks for the console market since they're less flexible.

To modernize the term;
"The man who cried THERE'S A MAN TRYING TO KILL MEH!"
