Bethesda/Valve will do some A/B testing with different games to see what the optimal pricing/payout scheme is, but right now modders get absolutely nothing (donations are near 0 even for top modders) so I just don't see

You can't charge based on the modder's intent. If a mod was made out of love vs. money grab is irrelevant. If people want to pay for it the question is how much money should the modder get? You're saying the 25% is a raw deal

If the community didn't accept it, they wouldn't sell the mods. Just mark them all as free. This is opt-in. Also, for the record, Bethesda only gets 45%, Valve get 30%, and the modder gets 25%. > The game company is getting fre

Bethesda did not ask for the fix. They have no obligation to compensate them financially. Also, the amount of work one developer did in 6 months modding the game is probably still only an insanely small fraction of the work that went into c

I'm a little disappointed in the gaming community. I think this was a step forward. I mean, modders cannot legally get paid for their work now (donations at the moment amount to little to no money even for top modders), this would chan

Can someone clarify: Did Valve shutdown the paid mod system, or did Bethesda just turn off paid mods for Skyrim? > We're going to remove the payment feature from the Skyrim workshop.

I actually think limiting swipes is a good thing. It means people can't just like everyone and then choose the matches that come in later.

With something like $150 billion+ in the bank, it might just be a long term viable strategy.

"...if we determine that your use [...] substantially exceeds or differs from normal use by other users..." Why even bother putting "Unlimited" if they are just going to kick off the power users?

I guess the question is, given perfect information, can we get the probability of a decision given a brain state? What does it mean for "free will" (whatever that means) if the answer to that is YES? What about NO?

I think the point is your phone is unreliable (battery life, dropping risk, cracked screens, etc) and paying for things is mission critical while listening to music is not. I take better care of my wallet than my phone. Lost phone? Buy new

Serious questions: Can they give people discounts based on how old they are? Can they give student discounts? Is there a legal line between giving discounts/charging less vs charging more?

My point is just because the thing you bought with your loan money is now useless/worthless doesn't relieve you of your obligation to the bank.

Did the students get a loan from the college or a bank? Did the bank fail? Can I refuse to pay back my mortgage if my house burns down?
