question: if modders/steam start charging for mods, will Bethesda be able to sue them? Or is this a gray area?
Bethesda is in on this obviously
They take the majority of money from each mod sale

not sure how i feel about this, but it's certainly not positive 
ok, if moders started taking payment outside this system? would that be legal, illegal or some sort gray area? I assume that would be some kind of copyright-infringement?

As I understand it, sale without bethesdas approval=infringement
Workshop sales=ok
Donations=ok

suspected as much.
well, this is a mess. so much stuff to keep in mind when forming an opinion 
i don't like it, what's stopping bethesda/anyone from forcing all modders to charge and then taking a cut of the profits? long way there, but still i guess there's nothing wrong per se, but still, ugh.

Well, Steam Crew is really selfish. They ask for money for everything, maybe the only free game is Team Fortress 2
This is not true, Dota 2 has the best free to play model out there.
The only thing you can buy in that game are cosmetics.
TF2 on the other hand has different weapons and such which affect the gameplay.

I can't wait to see more 
One good thing: Now I understand why a lot of the modding tutorials I've read tell me to do the things they do.
A lot of the stuff seems like it was made from a modding tutorial

I went and read the blog post from Bethesda and this worries me:
Quote:
In our early discussions regarding Workshop with Valve, they presented data showing the effect paid user content has had on their games, their players, and their modders. All of it hugely positive. They showed, quite clearly, that allowing content creators to make money increased the quality and choice that players had. They asked if we would consider doing the same.
This was in 2012 and we had many questions, but only one demand. It had to be open, not curated like the current models. At every step along the way with mods, we have had many opportunities to step in and control things, and decided not to. We wanted to let our players decide what is good, bad, right, and wrong. We will not pass judgment on what they do. We’re even careful about highlighting a modder on this blog for that very reason.
They've been looking at this idea for three years and managed to FUBAR it as badly as they did.  This does not bode well for Elder Scrolls VI. But I'm glad they at least saw sense in the end (or at least the large groups of rioters outside their digital windows).

This sounds like the outcome of a bad public relation strategy more than anything else. Reminds me a little bit of the Forge fiasco. Companies should in the future consider pitching their ideas to the fanbase BEFORE they become policy rather than the other way around. Even if the outcome is ultimately the same, the company would emerge looking like the good guy rather than getting a black eye.
