'We underestimated the differences between our previously successful revenue sharing models, and the addition of paid mods to Skyrim's workshop,' said Valve. Valve had hoped the paid mods would follow the path travelled by Valve's own games like Team Fortress 2 and mods turned games like Dota, Counter-strike, DayZ, and Killing Floor, but admitted those hopes were a mistake. Your support means everything to us, and we hear you,' said Bethesda in its own post. Even though we had the best intentions, the feedback has been clear - this is not a feature you want. 'After discussion with Valve, and listening to our community, paid mods are being removed from Steam Workshop. Valve added that it had Bethesda's support on the decision and those that had already paid for mods would be refunded. It's obvious now that this case is different,' it said in a statement. We've been shipping many features over the years aimed at allowing community creators to receive a share of the rewards, and in the past, they've been received well. 'We've done this because it's clear we didn't understand exactly what we were doing. Valve now says despite good intentions it did not fully appreciate the impact the feature would have. The feature allowed modders to sell their Skyrim mods. Just days after introducing it, and following an outcry from the PC gaming community, Valve has removed the payment feature from the Skyrim workshop on Steam.
