I still think the mods-er, creations- should be free for players, since new content (such as free mods) extends the life of games, thus keeping older games relevant, thus leading to future sales.

Either way, I'm mostly okay with it: modders are getting paid, and there's not a fusion gun being held to anyone's head forcing them to buy anything. They have hired modders to be creators of new content, and since they don't call the creations mods, they don't have to cop to being a paid mods system.

Okay, fine, I know what Bethesda is trying to say.
