DLC abuse isn't enough?
Arguably the greatest thing about the all mighty PC master race is the ability to make games remain fresh decades after their release with the glorious mods that the communities make.
Thanks to mods my all time favorite game Duke3D has thousands, yes thousands of levels to play and limitless content, a lifetime of playing Duke3D and I still haven't played a quarter of the total amount of user created content, for gods sake the legendary 2001 build of Duke Nukem Forever was recreated in Duke3D!!
Plus there's the awesome mods like Brutal Doom like overhauls, HD upgrades, character swaps, hell thanks to mods I can play Doom 1 remade in Doom 3 as well as give it the graphical level of Crysis, also let's not forget those glorious nude mods.:inlove:
The best part is it's always been FREE!!!
But it's pretty much inevitable that charging for mods will get out of control, be abused to hell and back much like modern day DLC and ruin PC gaming and gaming in general.
Now on the other hand Valve is also adding a Donate option for the modders alongside this which I actually like, modders who work hard for nothing to make these games even better deserve to at least be allowed some donations so Valve should keep that on board, but the charging for mods needs to go.
What do you all think about this, is Valve playing with fire here?
