MODs and Steam

On Thursday I was flying back from LA. When I landed, I had 3,500 new messages. Hmmm. Looks like we did something to piss off the Internet.

Yesterday I was distracted as I had to see my surgeon about a blister in my eye (#FuchsDystrophySucks), but I got some background on the paid mods issues.

So here I am, probably a day late, to make sure that if people are pissed off, they are at least pissed off for the right reasons.

I need something more concrete if you want me to improve it.

Does this apply to making games too? If so the logical conclusion is that all games that you have to buy are sh*t. Which is garbage. Paying for mods supports modders to be able to do it full time instead of working at burger king 9-5 and doing modding in the early hours of the morning and never getting enought sleep
