    Yeah, that’s sure stopped content mods being ripped off and reuploaded to paid platforms.

    This happens every time someone tries paid mods. Someone rips somebody else’s work and profits from it.

      Might not stop it, but having an approval process for developers and clear rules will make it harder.

        They’ve had those before and it hasn’t worked. Maybe I’m just cynical, but I’ve never seen an official supported modding marketplace exist without a significant number of free mods being sold as paid by not the original developer

          Which games has this been a problem for?

            Skyrim itself for 1

            I’ve seen it with minecraft too, when mod distribution was centralized there was a lot of issues with people reuploading other creators work

              The only paid mods that Skyrim has are the ones for Creation Club, and I haven’t heard of people getting through the approval process with stolen work.

                The original setup for it did. I remember seeing SkyUI on the platform as a paid mod when it was and still is free

                  Wasn’t that the actual developer of SkyUI who put it on the platform as a paid mod?

        so, it won’t.
