User blog comment:The Rim of the Sky/Purchasable Mods Being Removed from Steam Workshop/@comment-46.64.59.129-20150903080654

Seeing as the best mods are incorporated, ie, stolen, into future games, I don't see why the game companies can't pay the modders themselves. Paid modding will only encourage scammers and fly-by-nights who will promise much but deliver little; much like 70% of the games coming through on Greenlight.
