I'd love to see mods being distributed via Steam. Paying for mods doesnt make sence to me, yes as a developer I would love nothing more than to get money for the work I do, but honestly I am going to do it whether or not I am getting payed. Paying for a mod defeats every principle that the mod community was built on. A fantastic way to express your ideas and visions without having to pay for any licenses or having to meet demands of a professional environment. Valve has done a lot for the modding community but I beleive that selling mods over steam and taking half of the profits would be the worst thing they could do. Buying CS, DOD etc.. was a different story, they took them on and made them into stand alone games. Someone should point that guy over to the Torque engine, because what he should be looking to do is make a game, not a mod.
Along the lines of licensing and $$$, there a few mods out there that offer special features to those who donate money to them, is that technically allowed with the license that is used with the SDK? I understand donations and such, but can they really offer people extra incentives to donate by using the Game itself? _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
