From PC World: I’ll give Valve some credit here: When its community is mad, it listens. Following four days of upheaval, Valve decided late Monday to pull the plug on its controversial paid mods feature for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, though there’s always a chance we’ll see it return in a different (more refined) form later on.
You can find the official announcement from Valve’s Alden Kroll here. Here are the important bits:
“We're going to remove the payment feature from the Skyrim workshop. For anyone who spent money on a mod, we'll be refunding you the complete amount. We talked to the team at Bethesda and they agree.
We've done this because it's clear we didn't understand exactly what we were doing. We've been shipping many features over the years aimed at allowing community creators to receive a share of the rewards, and in the past, they've been received well. It's obvious now that this case is different.”
