Return of paid mods? Steam blog still talks about why some mods cost money

Valve has recently updated its Steam digital-download service with a post about mods (via NeoGAF), and it still has an answer up about why you have to pay for certain ones.

In April, Steam and publisher Bethesda worked together to introduce a new system where mod creators could charge for the add-on content they built for the megapopular role-playing game The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Gamers did not react well to this — with many arguing that Bethesda, Valve, and modders were greedy for charging for labor that previously went unrewarded. This led to Bethesda and Valve quickly ending the paid-mod idea just days after introducing it. But it may make a return.
