User blog:The Rim of the Sky/Purchasable Mods Being Removed from Steam Workshop

Just after four days of the feature's release, Valve and Bethesda have announced that they are removing paid mods from the Steam Workshop.

Having decided to listen to the majority of the community, Valve and Bethesda have agreed on removing paid mods. Users who have previously purchased any mods can now refund them. Originally, Skyrim was intended to be the forefront game that would bring paid modding into the gaming community, though this has severely backfired on them. There have been a few legal issues and the Fishing Mod was removed due to Copyright issues just a few days back. Valve regrets making a bad mark on the modding community and will refrain from doing this again in the future.
