There is one glimmer of hope for mod makers who were hoping to make at least a partial living from their creations. The fate of paid mods for other titles appears unclear, though with the reaction Elder Scrolls has seen, it's unlikely any other publisher would want to get involved until the whole scheme has been overhauled. The plan was originally to allow paid content for other games in future, with Valve's original announcement saying "many more of your favorite Workshop games will support paid content in the coming weeks". "We're going to remove the payment feature from the Skyrim workshop", Valve's statement pointedly begins, emphasis ours. However, the reversal may not be as complete as it appears - at least, not eventually.
