It came back down." Don’t expect the paid mod system to return anytime soon, folks.īethesda’s considering bringing the paid mod system back, but their hands are full at the moment. It was an idea we worked on with those guys for Skyrim it didn't pan out. "I honestly, genuinely, don't know what it means for the future. If they ever bring back the paid mod system, Bethesda’s still expecting a cut, even if it won’t be the original 45%. Valve was going to get 30%, while the modder would receive the standard 25%, with Bethesda raking in 45%. Folks had a big problem with the breakdown for mod revenue, though. They still believe that folks who pour plenty of time and effort into creating mods should have a way to cash in on their hard work. "I think our stance on it is we're going to re-evaluate it going forward," Hines said. Speaking to Gamespot, Bethesda VP of PR and Marketing Pete Hines reveals that paid mods are still sitting on the back burner. They didn’t say it would never show up again, though. The company admitted that they hadn’t fully thought out how paid mods would be received by the community, but promptly took it down and offered refunds after realizing the chaos they’d unleashed.



They’re actually still considering it in the future. Hey, remember when paid mods in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was a thing? You know, that thing that turned into a big joke? One would think that Bethesda would give up on that after everything that happened, but nah.
