"I also am Otherkin. Whenever autumn rolls around I can feel my kin-type slowly taking over my body. You must know, I identify as pumpkin. I can control it pretty good most of the time, but when September ends, I just cant hold it in anymore. Whenever Im outside I see my brothers and sisters being chopped into soup, coffee, donuts, cake, drinks, bread - ppl even cut human faces into their skin, making a mockery out of their noble appearance. When I see things like that I cant control my pumpkin urges anymore. My natural instincts kick in. I then sit down motionless, while getting bright orange." - Morgana L

I'll be honest, I completely missed this, I was away and hadn't taken a look at the internet for a week. All I know is what is told in the video above.
I think it's time for modders to start applying (free) licenses to their works, and make sure they have all rights on their works before that. At least I won't be surprised if some company steps up and claims all mods as their own based on some weird bit of legal document somewhere and starts selling them. Or, like we've seen in the video, other people taking a mod and selling it.
Steam, Bethesda, all other companies involved: you're insanely stupid and you should feel insanely stupid.

The short version: mod monetization is not gonna work. At least not in that incarnation.
Ways I could see it working is in the way Unreal Tournament is doing it (F2P, but paid community mods).
Other than that I can only really see it working by putting a very prominent donation button on the download pages of the mods.
