So far Valve have not detailed hot they plan on preventing this. One other problem with this program is that there does not seem to be any safeguard in place to prevent other users from acquiring another person's mod to then sell it themselves for a lower price than the developer, a higher price than the developer (if the mod isn't on the Steam Workshop yet) or for free.

Valve do have a 24 hour window in order to test your new mods and to get a refund if you have had trouble getting your mods to work together, though if the game get's patched in the future and the mod breaks you will be sadly left in the dark. Tonight Steam has added the ability to sell game mods on the Steam Workshop in an effort to support the content creators on the Steam Platform, though with creators only getting a 25% cut of the sales and a rather lax set of rules and requirements it is hard to tell whether or not this is a simple money grabbing attempt by Valve.Īt present Skyrim is the only game which supports paid modding, but more games are going to follow suit. It cannot be denied how easy the steam Workshop has made modding some games, allowing users to easily and freely share and use modded content for supported games, but now this is not the case.
