“Even though we had the best intentions, the feedback has been clear-this is not a feature you want,” wrote Bethesda on its blog.
“We think this made us miss the mark pretty badly, even though we believe there’s a useful feature somewhere here.” “Now it’s also a great place for selling those creations.”įast forward to this week: “We understand our own game’s communities pretty well, but stepping into an established, years old modding community in Skyrim was probably not the right place to start iterating,” Valve wrote. “The Steam Workshop has always been a great place for sharing mods, maps, and all kinds of items that you’ve created,” the original announcement read. On Monday, it pulled down the feature entirely. It didn’t expect the huge backlash, from players and modders alike. Last week, Valve announced that creators of game mods would be able to sell their creations on its Steam service.
Some responded with satirical mods of their own. Modders were a little upset at Valve and Bethesda's decision to introduce a payment system for Skyrim mods.
