Mods are tough to make, they deserve it.
EDIT: Also, it doesn't look like anything Valve is making you do, it looks like something the individual developers are setting up, Valve is just facilitating it.
Uh... what? What are you talking about?
You do realise that modders in this situation get the least or the same amount of profit as Valve does, right? (from what I understood, most of the cash always goes to the dev).
Yeah, mods are hard to make, there's no point in denying that, but since when did any modder DEMAND money for a mod? They were doing it mostly for fun and for the gaming community.
What they deserve is a donate button, not something like this, where their work can be easily stolen by someone for profit.
