Why did /v/ defend paid mods when they came out?

People didn't? /v/ was anti-paid mod when that update to Skyrim happened. The general consensus was donations was fine, but paying for user created content is a slippery slope as well as greedy.

It was shills and leafs.

because it's

O P T I O N A L

>>375868121
No one did. Also that armor is free now.

Why is every thread on /v/ the OP baiting replies by saying something retarded?

Same reason /v/ was so pro-Hillary a couple months ago, they're retarded and only change ships when they finally lose.

>>375868321
Because it's the most surefire way to get replies. Idiots think getting replies means they're popular, when in reality it's closer to everyone laughing and pointing at a moron when he trips.

>>375868121
You mean shills and contrarian shitposters?

Why do you feel people aren't entitled to money for their hard work?

>>375868321
It pretty sad how people waste their time baiting when they are not even good at it.

>>375868121
nu-/v/, shitposters and contrarians who think if they disagree with a majority of people all the time they're smarter than everyone else.

>>375868321
cant samefag bump your own thread anymore so the only threads that get traction on popular boards are the sensational ones

It didn't. It was only shitposters like

Do any of you guys remember how everyone was so happy when TOR was a huge sucess. I remember people making tons of congratulatory images and everything.
This totally happened by the way, if you don't remember it you're a newfag and probably post anime on this American website based off of reddit.

Nice.

>>375868121
I can't believe just how poorly Valve executed the idea of paid mods.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the creators of those mods only receive 30% of money from a purchase, whereas Valve took fucking 70%?

>>375868121
Because people get paid to post on social media sites to push an agenda. Yes, this is a thing that actually exists.

Anyway the majority of /v/ did not defend this. Most just outright mocked it.

>>375869193
Creators only got 25%, not 30%.

>>375868389
>thread about paid mods
>retards still somehow find a way to make it about american politics
It's just getting fucking exhausting at this point.

>>375869290
That's even worse of an execution.

When Bethesda takes their piece and Valve takes their piece, it doesn't leave much for the modder.
Not nearly enough for them to take time off their actual jobs or to hire people to assist with the mods.
People thinking paying for mods would mean higher quality mods are mistaken.

>>375869193
Why the heck should modders get more money? All of their work is derivative.

Why should you get your own paycheck? All of your work is derivative because your parents literally made you.

>>375869969
Well, my argument was more as to why any modder would be interested in such a shit deal.
Seriously, receiving 25% for some sort of 50p mod would turn every single modder off. What was the point of Valve even attempting this poorly executed idea?

>>375870179
You realize you make a fraction of what your boss does? Same applies to mods

>>375869290
>>375869448
They also only got that 25% if a certain amount of money was made from sales so unless your mod became very popular you didn't make any money.

Canada needs to be destroyed and we need to also take their women for our concubines.

>>375870472
Difference is your boss gets his own paycheck because he's currently working.

You're defending the idea of the person you used to work for (who retired) getting 75% of your paycheck.
