Nothing. Modders suddenly feeling they should be paid is really entitled and kind of crazy. Hey I made some fan art of a marvel character, should marvel pay me?
Modding isn't a job, and you can't make money off of someone else's game
You're conflating two different things.
There's modders who whine about working for free. And yes, modding is a choice.
Where in this incident is stolen work.
It's not work . I'm currently modding a game, it's a hobby. And I'd be entitled as hell to think I should be paid for it.
This "pay the modders" thing will just lead to more micro transactions. You want to download that created wrestler in the new game? It was made by so and so, you now owe. $9.99. fuck that
If you make something and give it away for free, that's fine.
If you make something and I sell it to the masses for a profit without your permission that's theft.
