There were free mods as well. And people could choose to sell mods...
What the fuck is wrong with the Steam community?

They didn't want this system to ruin the mod community, which it in all likelihood would have.

Not to mention VALVE would take 75% of each purchase D:

Many people are asking for a DONATE button instead.

Nexus has the donate button. I like that better, to be honest.

Perfectly reasonable. These people do deserve some compensation for their hard work even if they're just doing it for fun.

Yeah, Nexus is so much better

Oh. I didn't know about that.
That's horrible.

that's not true, Valve took only 25%, Bethesda took 45% (because they could) and the remainder went to the modder

My friend wanted to abuse the hell out of it. Wanted me and another buddy to start making weapons and armor and charging 1$ each.

25cents for every dollar earned

25% seems like a lot to me.

A dollar? pssh...

$1.99 at minimum.

Moving day!

@Mazer

Obama made D4 come to the PC! He's really the best president ever!

Squeee!!!!!!!!

*plays as Mewtwo in Smash Bros 4*
Wow, he's pretty good.

Rocksteady noooo!!!!

So it's 100$ for the full game?

I am surprised by the fact I am still playing Fallen London. I never expected such a simple little game to keep my attention this long, and I am still finding new stuff to do!

I'm already paying $100 kind of, my little brother and I are going 50/50 on the limited edition. Wanted the pc version but waiting for a cheap ass GOTY edition is the way to go.

Also, here's the tweet:

simplest games are the best.

@ Legend

I hope your special edition comes with all the DLC, mate. Seriously this is just driving me further away from gaming. And people dare give Ninty shyt when this is happening more and more and more with "AAA" games on the "next gen" consoles?

nope, the only dlc it comes with are some skins and the harley quinn stuff because I pre-ordered.

Very few companies handle dlc properly.

Of course people give Nintendo shit.
Nintendo isn't doing all of that. So old fashioned. Why won't they start ripping us off?

I am legitimately shocked whenever I read comments about people bitching that Ninty doesn't do DLC (as much). It's like...you guys WANT to spend more money on crap content?

Luckily the big N actually gives us MASSIVE bang for our bucks when they do DLC


Also:



I'm not a bad photographer if I say so myself. Opinions?

In regards the Nintendo argument; their DLC is kinda all over the board in my opinion. Games like Hyrule Warriors and Mario kart 8 are doing it perfectly, however DLC for things like Streetpass and various other smaller installments feel like a complete rip off. Probably due to a lack of universal management across all the teams, but I digress.

@Mazer: It looks good to me.
