Hi all,

The continuing exploration of monetizing mods popped up in the web with an interesting idea: instead of paying for mods, pay a monthly subscription to the mod developer. The mods stay free and none of the money gets svcked up by Valve or Beth (as compared to the 75% they wanted previously).

I read about it here: http://www.grabitmagazine.com/blog/post/a-spark-of-an-idea/

There was general background piece here: http://www.grabitmagazine.com/blog/post/from-mods-to-millions-the-four-demons-valve-must-slay/

So are any of you mod developers using something like this?

What about players - would you be willing to subscribe for a few dollars a month to your favorite modder?

I've not yet started playing on a PC or using mods but this is an evolving aspect of the community that I'd like to keep up with.

Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts.
