Today, Skyrim developer Bethesda Game Studios responded to that outcry, further explaining its position on paid mods, saying it's listening to players 'and will make changes as necessary.'

When Valve announced last week that Steam was now selling paid mods through the Workshop, starting with The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, reaction from Steam users was overwhelmingly negative.
