actually its not the end of the pc,because the pc is not old gen.xbox 360 and ps3 are the only consoles which is from the old gen era which means that they will release only for pc ps4 and xboxone so i dont think that this security thing will make the pc boring and i when i tried to sent invite today it worked without purchasing something before the invite so i dont think they made it.
Wait, didn't you have to spend money to get half of these features for years now?
Trading cards never dropped from F2P games unless you've made a total of $9 purchases in them, friends were also somehow restricted unless you had a non-f2p game on your account. Restricting Greenlight / Workshop reviews would only help to prevent people from spamming votes from alt accounts.
I'm pretty sure snake was talking about something else. Anyway, he should've expanded his post because what we have now is definitely not a discussion-level OP.

He's talking about this. Steam is now allowing modders for Skyrim to lock their mods behind a paywall, of whatever price they set to it (afaik). Steam will take in 75% of the money, while the modders (and I assume developers) are left to split the remaining 25%. Alternatively, modders can also take a "pay what you want" approach to selling their mods, although this feature does have a minimum price. The option to have you mod be distributed for free is also still an option, but I don't think many people will be doing this any longer.

Nope. The devs are the ones who decide what the cut is. In the case of Skyrim, Modders get 25%, and the devs and Steam split the 75%. That's what's causing at least a third of the outrage. The other two thirds is about how they have to pay for the mods in the first place.

All it takes is one bad day to reduce the sanest man alive to lunacy. That’'s how far the world is from where I am. Just one bad day.

But isn't that for the good, too?
Mods aren't something you have to get to play a game, it's rather something that can possibly improve the gaming experience. Some mods take loads of time to make, why can't modders profit from them? It makes perfect sense for me that they're making it possible to add a price tag on your work. Game developers get an incentive to attract good modders, good modders get an incentive to provide players with better mods.
That reminds me of the hysteria over youtube's paid channels back when they were introduced and people saying that "it was the end of free entertainment" or whatever they did say about that.
