Mods always used to be passion projects by volunteers, motivated purely by the love for the game and the community and the vision of the mod. This is what made the modding scene special to many. Is it really suprising that people are sad to see this culture being changed by monetization now, especially if they suddenly can't afford mods?

That's an ass hole mentality. It's up there with expecting artist to do work for free, for "exposure."

People aren’t and shouldn’t be obligated to pay you just because you voluntarily decided to make a mod.

The only reason paid mods became a thing was because Bethesda (and initially Valve) wanted to make a buck off the work that other people did.
