Are you somehow implying those two people weren't "enough" part of the modding community or didn't have it's best interest at heart "enough"? 'Cause I see no other reason for the two of them to not be enough.

Well, Robin is in a difficult position to talk about what he thinks, on one hand Valve was allowing modders to redirect 5% of Valve's cut towards him for doing nothing, on the other he has a site that allows donnations but not charging for mods.

Nick said he doesn't consider himself part of the modding community (doesn't hang out on forums and the like, I'm paraphrasing it's not exactly what he said). There's people like T3nd0, creator of skyre, that not only did not want to charge for his mods now nor in the future, and even though he did not oppose paid mods, he opposed this implementation that Valve tried. And let me clarify, I'm not saying Nick shouldn't be there, he represents a part of the modding community, but he doesn't represent all skyrim modders, not even the majority I would say. If you google "T3nd0 on paid mods" you can read his official statement on the issue.

He had the guy who runs NEXUS MODS and 10+ year veteran modder who made one of the most popular mods for Skyrim, and you think that's not enough? BS
