The whole mod things on Steam is good news for us. People is angry, and with all right to be, mods have always been free, and they should be. And the mod creators get paid very little, in fact most of the money goes for Valve and Bethesda.
Steam's dictatroship might fall because of this, but only if we encourage gamers to move to other platforms which support the customer ad are DRM free. Gamers are so angry about this that we should use it to our advantage and convince gamers to move to GOG and other DRM free platforms. Once that is done and devs realiza Steam is not that strong in the market, more games will be released DRM free.

That's an excess of hopefulness right there.

I find your lack of faith in the DRM free revolution disturbing.

people dont care about drm free they want convenience and pklay their games

A little hopfulness can be necessary if you want to change things :)

There are lots of way to push for GOG : you can vote on the wishlists for games or films, use the regular polls that game companies do to evaluate future strategy (square enix and gamearts had one recently), vote with your wallets by buying the games currently on the service or you can shamelessly plug GOG on hots topics on reddit, steam,... :)

It's a brave new world here :)
GOG doesn't have the games masses in general want.

What the are you saying?!? You have to pay for mods on Steam? Seriously???
I think the whole Steam boycott thing is a little silly for what could have been a minor miscalculation on Steam's part. People are too quick to jump on the "ALL CORPORATIONS ARE GREEDY!!!!" train. You have to remember that their concept is still in a very early phase. But, I just made myself a GOG account because a DRM-free service does sound awesome. Keep it up, GOG.

Some people even want their games to play themselves. Some people even find it challenging to use punctuation and capital letters.

I don't know if this question is in jest, so I'll treat it as if it's not.

Steam has made it possible for people who put their mods on the Steam Workshop to require payment from those who download the mod, yes. In return, Steam takes 75% of said payment (of which some percentage goes to the publisher of the game in question, I think, or simply to Bethesda, maybe, I don't know, haven't cared enough to read up on the facts). Also, the mod creator doesn't get shit until the mod has made at least $400 total (of which the creator would get $100, as by the Valve-takes-75% statement).

That is because they don't know better. Once you go DRM free you never go back.
