Beside I think that is time to appear mods pay-for-use than current use-for-free... this only benefit modders. This can be seen in other games and is a good incentive to keep things in perspective from both sides... those who spend time creating mods and those that just grab them for free.

If that would happen in SUBSIM it is a totally different story but... things are changing towards this way... and to be fair if I pay for mods in other games I really wouldn't mind paying mods for this game either. That is win-win situation the modder wins and the player wins coz didn't have the trouble creating something.

edit: even if isn't for modders own wallet... that money could go either to support the community or for a charity like some that I know already do on other games.
