Ik heb de onvoorwaardelijke liefde voor steam nooit begrepen. Ja, het is handig om alles op een platform te hebben maar je bent fucked als dat platform ineens iets doet wat je niet aanstaat.quote:May 1, 2015 (XGN News)- The modding communities of popular games such as Skyrim and Fallout are in uproar this week after Valve's Steam gaming service introduced the selling of mods.
Jeremy Lewis first found out about the changes to Steam after receiving an email from Valve notifying him that his mod for polka dotted horse armor was removed for copyright violations.
"I thought it was a joke at first," Lewis told XGN, "but then I logged in and found that my mod was gone. I emailed Valve for an explanation, but they never got back to me."
Lewis later found that his mod was still available on Steam, but for $1.99, and being sold by someone else.
"They uploaded my mod, put it up for sale, then issued a copyright claim against me. I can't believe it, I spent weeks working on that mod, and now someone else is profitting on it?"
F_phoenix on the modding site Nexus had a similar issue, "I never uploaded my mod to Steam, only to Nexus. Then suddenly I got irate emails from Steam users who had apparently bought my mod on Steam and it didn't work for them. They must have done a search on Google for my mod and found me through Nexus and figured I was the one who sold the mod on Steam, so I should support them."
Forums across the Internet are lighting up with similar stories, with new or possibly stolen Steam accounts suddenly popping up and selling mods allegedly without permission, and then issuing copyright violation accusations against the free version of the mods.
Valve has declined to comment, but insiders tell XGN that there is not likely to be a quick solution as there is no way for Valve to know who the true creator of a mod is.

Wat een zeldzame nonsens dit. Gaat Steam heel wat gezeik opleveren.
