I don’t see the issue with providing modders with an avenue to charge for their work. If you don’t like it, don’t pay for them and continue doing what you’ve done.
The other problem is that with paid mods, other modders can’t make compatibility patches unless they buy the mod to test against. Say goodbye to your 1,000 mod modlist all working together in harmony.

You’d have a point if the changes made to implement didn’t break the existing mods.
Yeah that’s not cool, but isn’t it the typical update brokenness? Can’t you revert to an old patch?
