Valve introduces Paid Mods. Bad move.

Up until now, everyone always anticipates any update from Valve with a smile. Unfortunately, today is different. Today, Valve introduces paid mods for Steam games, starting with Skyrim. You want to download a mod, you pay for the service. 

This is a bad move by Valve as game modding is supposed to be a fun and creative ways for users to alter the content of a game to increase the fun value of a game, making it more pleasent to play the game by adjusting it to user's content. 

Introducing payment option just destroys the value in modding. Instead of creating mods for fun or creativity, it will influence modders to making money focused on money-making value instead of quality or creativity value.

It's not even a day yet since update and many people have criticized Valve's new policy. Please Valve let the existing paid mods be the last ones there are.
