While it's not known if modification developers will receive any payouts for the sales they did end up generating, it's good that those that purchased modifications in the Steam Workshop - which are now returning to their original price-point of zero dollars - will receive full refunds for their purchases. In the 3 short days the Skyrim Steam Workshop supported paid modifications, it was witness to countless acts of software theft, plenty of joke modifications for sale at ludicrous prices, and tiny modifications that cost more than Skyrim itself did at the time. The decision from both parties came after Valve admitted the err of their ways following a self-described 'dump truck of feedback', most of which was evidently negative. Today, Valve and Bethesda announced the full cancellation of Steam's paid mod workshop, apologizing for the inconvenience and refunding gamers who had made purchases during the system's short lifespan. The sudden introduction of paid modifications into the marketplace caused an influx of outrage and a torrent of complaints from gamers, who had plenty of valid concerns on why this was a bad idea for both the mod scene and consumers as a whole. Don't blink, or you'll miss it! That phrase is probably familiar to Valve, whom introduced a for-profit Skyrim Steam Mod Workshop a mere 3 days ago.
