It's not the case of modders asking for donations/money for their work.
It's the case of Valve/Bethesda wanting to get a slice of the money the modders could/are getting and then creating the means to get them.
The example you posted would relate if Square-Enix would suddently want to get a slice of the profit from the artwork (since it would be a part of the setting they created) along with whoever owns RPC.
Actually the OP mostly talks about how the modders should not ask for money
From OP:
Quote:Lastly, mods are a reflection of the passion of the community of the game, and this way you are just forcing people, and modders will just do out of profit instead of passion. It's honestly very concerning how many industries are pushing absurd things, and how they're becoming the rule nowadays.
I was mostly countering the points from the OP and first page of comments or so, from there it started turning into a distaste for the cut that the corporations are taking, which I agree it is a bit steep. Â But originally the posts were talking about how modders should not charge for something that they have been up to now providing for free.
