​Gabe also said that money = community. He doesn't give a toss about the modding community as long it doesn't bring in money for him. Plus the fact that Valve doesn't actually seem to test mods before they go up for sale pretty much opens Pandora's Box for some really shady practises.

​One of the many problems is, is how Valve does seemingly cares more about getting even more money than to help modders out. I think if they just gave the option so you could donate whatever amount of money you wanted to a good mod maker in case you liked his mods, the backlash would have been far less than what we are seeing now. But no, Valve only wanted to get even more money, so they decided to go this route of making people pay for mods and taking the majority of the cut for it. They get more money over other peoples mods than that the person who made that mod ever would. There were free mods that had a link where you could donate to said person making the mod, but Valve removed those links within the hour of it going up. Face it, Valve isn't interested in keeping a community together anymore, they only want more and more money in ways even Bobby Kotick wouldn't even dream of.

​I don't think Valve is actually greedy. Everything they throw out has some kind of compromise, and seems like it came from a good idea. This whole thing could've been implemented far worse, for example, no pay what you want system. The idea "Hey, maybe modders can get paid for their work!" isn't a bad one. This was just a bad way to do it. I don't think Valve is greedy, but they're far, far from infallible. You don't charge 25% for something you already were doing for free and have the infrastructure for and not be greedy. A 25% cut is insane. It's mind-boggling. It's 2.5x as much as Ebay, which a lot of people that sell their shit there will tell you, 10% is a fucking lot. 25% is the American tax rate for somebody who has an average income, which, by the way, also means 25% of that 25% cut the modder get goes to taxes. I think that the reason Valve is hunting down donation links so much is because you cannot legally take a cut of donations. ​Valve is not charging people to put their mods on Steam Workshop. Valve is taking a cut from mods that decide to be for sale on the Steam workshop, which is a service they have not offered before. Free mods still exist and are not going anywhere. ​There is a mod (Midas Magic) already whose free version not only lacks features from the paid version, but also has fucking pop-ups pestering you to buy the paid version. You seem to forget that greed makes people do some really scummy things and that the average consumer is as dumb as a pigs arse. Also, Valve only pays out if the mod made more than 400 dollars in sales. 100 dollars go to the mod maker, the rest goes to Valve and Bethesda in this case. In the event of a mod not making more than 400 dollars, Valve and Bethesda get to keep it all. Also, once a paid mod goes up, Valve will not delete it unless it offends them or it gets them into legal trouble. So if someone finds that they made a mistake by making paid mods, Valve is practically fucking them in the arse too. Plus Valve is doing absolutely zero quality assurance on paid mods. There are literal pay-to-win mods flooding the Workshop already, along with literal weapon reskins from other games along with mods stolen from other people. The Skyrim Nexus lost thousands of mods yesterday, not over people getting greedy, but by people pulling their mods because they are afraid that people will steal their mods to sell them on the Workshop. Valve doesn't even check if sold mods are actually from the person that made said mod. They don't care about it either, they just want to cash in on this generation's idiots throwing money at everything even if it used to be absolutely free for years.

​You're just not Vaike enough for the Vaike. @everyone's medieval matchmaking This is your first playthrough, just play the game and don't give a shit about eugenics. Besides, it's not like minmaxing matters unless you're trying to play apotheosis or insanity mode anyway. ​ Axe guy: eh​You're just not Vaike enough for the Vaike. @everyone's medieval matchmaking This is your first playthrough, just play the game and don't give a shit about eugenics. Besides, it's not like minmaxing matters unless you're trying to play apotheosis or insanity mode anyway. ​I paired Vaike with Lissa purely because the idea of Chrom having to accept Vaike as family is fucking hilarious.

What's more is how this can kill a modding community stone cold dead, which has happened before with multiple games. Greed corrupts people and sinks what was once a tight knit community. One modder on Facepunch, Turteleey summed up his experiences with that: http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?p=47586819#post47586819

​Make it eleven! ​Do you know why noone posts in the sports thread? ​Eleven games in a row won? The football team I am rooting for only won 10 games in the entire season out of 31 matches.... Plus the last time they got a shot at European Internation football, they got whooped by a club made out of students and amateurs from Luxembourg. Suffering.

​Gabe must have ran out of hamburgers and hot dogs in the Valve canteen again. Also, the modders only get a measly 25% of the cut. This is the most shameless cash grab I have seen in years from any company. And you wanna know a funny joke? THEY ARE SELLING EARLY ACCESS MODS.

​JUST BLOODY RELEASE F-ZERO GX WITH ONLINE FUNCTIONALITY FOR THE VITRUAL STORE ALREADY NINTENDO. I WILL EVEN 100% THAT GAME AGAIN DESPITE THE UTTER BULLSHIT AI ON STORY VERY HARD MODE.

I want my grey moustached theme back, this one is too white.

I have no Twitter, so it is either tonight's PC Gamer mail raffle or I will just wait it out. I mean, it isn't that long until the 21th, right?

​They also seem to have only one handgun at the moment, the 9mm Beretta M9 from KF1.

You could start with telling what videocard is in it. That new videocard feeling is especially good when using it for the first time and having every game of yours run at 60 fps on the highest settings after having been stuck with a card which ran most games on 20fps on Low-Medium settings.

I still haven't watched it. I saw yesterdays April Fools joke along with the small update wherein Matthew talks about how it is going with him and his family, which was also a bittersweet moment. It is just kinda hard to let go of something you have read ever since he made the first few little comics on GameFAQs.

More like Bayonetta DLC when. They really did it. The creation of ETERNAL JAPAN TIME.

So what did I miss this time? Seriously, the moment I go away the interesting things start to happen.

Rising Storm is a pretty good multiplayer WWII FPS too though, plus it comes with Red Orchestra Zwei. Although the game feels quite clunky from time to time and the learning curve might be a bit steep for some. Also this filter really blows.

Lol that's not why we collapsed, can you not shit talk please? Well alright, they weren't petty. So it is the forum version of Sweden now?

So what the hell was all that about anyway?

It's okay, I fixed it. But if this instant isn't a moment, what would it be then?

Aw come on, what is wrong with a little bit of teasing? Also I need something to laugh about after yet another abysmal showing of the Dutch NT.

I think your brother is the reason why Britt isn't wanting to get it on with you.

Well I would just (try to) not reply But if I had to and knowing that someone like that has done much more research about the subject than me, I'd just give them the moon landing since although I don't think it was faked it did come at a perfect time for America back then. As for 9/11 I'd either take an economic standpoint (there are much more efficient ways to cause terrorist panic than blowing up several important buildings) or morality standpoint (the government is no saturday morning cartoon villain you idiot) Yeah. The argument was mostly about zionism. You know, the whole middle east scenario is because of zionists. Bush blew up the WTC and invaded Iraq to cause stability in the middle east because zionists. Coincidence was not in this person's vocabulary. Granted, though, they did give me some sources that now have me believing there is a zionism issue. Not a grand conspiracy, mind you, but a number of highly influential Israeli leaders have opinions not too dissimilar from their Arab counterparts. Was the guy recently turned down for art school or something.

The only way they can save us now is if they confirm that it is actually male in every language known to man.
