    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
