All in all, I'm just waiting for the top modders to make their announcements about not supporting this horrible idea which will hopefully be the first nail to its' coffin. The most obvious alternative has already been suggested to Valve a bunch of times (a simple donate button).
P.S: I'm also waiting for AngryJoe to make a rant about this. It'll be good.
That's... hard to justify. We already know the Extended Scripts team don't support it, but other top mods have already converted over. From a financial point of view, it's stupid not too. From a moral view, it's stupid to join it.
Let's use a real example. The Shadow Scale set was introduced after the new pay for mod standards went up. It has 653 subscriptions (Which in this case are sales) in the last day. It sells for $1.99 for a subscription. This tells us that there has been $1,299.47 in sales.
The modder for this single piece of armor has made $324.87 in one day sales while the Valve/Bethesda team has made $974.60. That's massive, especially for a small armor set. If any of the larger mod teams decided to sell their mod for as little as $.99 they would be making massive profit, even if it's the short term.
