That’s a joke, right? Gaming is more popular now than it’s ever been. It’s gotten so popular, nerds are becoming mainstream and ‘cool’. Call of Duty and Madden are staples among even the ‘dude bro’ frat guys in college, and things like World of Warcraft are known to even the most ignorant of the general public. Hell,…

My favs are ones like “this game is ok” *1839 hours played*

Left a review on RPGMaker 2k3 (at the time I was the only one to give it a negative review) saying that the program was outdated and too complicated and that the later versions would be way better for people and was bombarded by insults for giving it a negative review. I actually had to delete all the name calling and…

there are over 7 billion people on earth. As games get more and more realistic it's going to get hard to make a character that DOESNT look like someone in real life.

Meh, a few salty losers are crying for their mommas. Big deal.

I am very glad that the modding community was able to push back on this. If Valve had said that they were going to allow for DONATIONS to go into effect. Then yes, absolutely. But to make buying mods mandatory? That’s a hell no from me.

Modders deserve to be paid for their work.

Con : in this sh*tstorm of dlcs and microtransaction, mods are the last stronghold of free content, made by passionate fans for passionate fans. That’s what mods are all about. But of course you didn’t put that here, that would be acknowledging that gamers are already being treated like milk cows by the gaming…

The 3rd person switches always felt like an elegant solution to a fundamental problem with most gaming platforms. There is something fundamentally uncomfortable about being limited to first person perspective without actually having real world peripheral vision (along with other sensory input)... particularly in a…

Saw that coming. Regardless though, the damage has been done. Valve knows that whatever trust people have given them has been forever ruined. To be honest, people have been starting to doubt the absolute amazingness of their Lord and Savior Gabe for a while now, but this doesn’t help.

An optional donate feature would be much better.

But how much does it cost?

Thank god I got this while it was still up. This is STILL the most realistic and most scary thing I've ever EVER played.

Except now a lot of previous mods aren't free any more and this gives devs incentive to put out more shitty games because the community will fix it and they'll get a cut anyway.

I’m almost done with my mod. It removes other people’s mods, leaving just my mod, which mods out people’s mods. I’m thinking $99 is a fair price.

you lack a “???” step before your profit.

Agreed

Yep, agreed with the donate button.

A donate button is such an obviously better option that I really hope that is the direction things go instead after this test melts down.
