Huinehtar: Am I the only one disturbed with this idea?
If I didn't like to see mods in Steam Workshop, I wouldn't like to see mods (free or not) on GOG, or whatever store.
I strongly believe that mods should be in a neutral place, where, at least we can hope, those mods wouldn't be specific or exclusive to a store, preventing other gamers to use them because of somewhat partnership or zealous behaviour.
Tutorials or what GOG did about Planescape: Torment modding is the right thing to do.
But mods on GOG? I would be ashamed to see that.

I am personally a big fan of the Mod Spotlights. Why? It keeps the mod on the site it originated from, the original mod site gets some hits and if they use ads it supports the server costs, and by linking to the actual site there is no question as to the origin of the mod(s).
I, personally speaking again, would not want to us to get more involved in the mod scene as that should, in my own personal opinion, remain vendor neutral but maybe that's just me being someone who was gaming since the early 90s so what do I know? :)
