Water is not wet!
I don't think there's really a way they could have launched it without it being a shit show.
A massive cultural shift needs to happen for this to work well. As was said earlier, the Skyrim workshop is basically a sacrificial lamb to get us through the mess.
im not really in favor of it but i think it could be done in a way where its not as horrible. For starters.. the split. If Valve and the dev are basically acting as publishers for the work i feel the maximum should be a publisher cut. So 30% for Valve and at maximum for the dev 30%. The dev has the perogative to take less or nothing at all with their portion going to the modder.
