You are over complicating a simple issue.
I guess you're right about that. I might have let myself go into a rant. Apologies.
I probably should have added some more information about myself before posting. I've used mods for a long time. I have a descent 'know how' about how to properly use them. I also have a basic understanding about the Creation Kit. Also, my opinions are mainly my own. Of course, I do come across articles or videos from time to time which could influence my opinions. If I'm not mistaken, this is something which occurs to most people.
I am glad that you disapprove of people trying to be compensated for hours and hours of hard work. That is an excellent attitude.
I've donated multiple times on mods which I thought would be essential.
I think that the Nexus does a far better job, letting people choose if they want to pay or not.
I don't disapprove of people making money, especially not if they, in this case mod creators, worked really hard to earn it. In fact, I admire some of them for the work they've done. I just didn't like how Bethesda and Valve divided the share, as how I remember it, was that the mod creator only got 25%. I could've remembered that wrong, so please correct me if it isn't true. Anyway, I'm glad that it turned out the way it went.
As i said, I might have gone into a rant. Once again apologies for that.
