Removing Payment Feature From Skyrim Workshop
04 月 28 日 - ALDEN
We're going to remove the payment feature from the Skyrim workshop. For anyone who spent money on a mod, we'll be refunding you the complete amount. We talked to the team at Bethesda and they agree.

We've done this because it's clear we didn't understand exactly what we were doing. We've been shipping many features over the years aimed at allowing community creators to receive a share of the rewards, and in the past, they've been received well. It's obvious now that this case is different.

To help you understand why we thought this was a good idea, our main goals were to allow mod makers the opportunity to work on their mods full time if they wanted to, and to encourage developers to provide better support to their mod communities. We thought this would result in better mods for everyone, both free & paid. We wanted more great mods becoming great products, like Dota, Counter-strike, DayZ, and Killing Floor, and we wanted that to happen organically for any mod maker who wanted to take a shot at it.

But we underestimated the differences between our previously successful revenue sharing models, and the addition of paid mods to Skyrim's workshop. We understand our own game's communities pretty well, but stepping into an established, years old modding community in Skyrim was probably not the right place to start iterating. We think this made us miss the mark pretty badly, even though we believe there's a useful feature somewhere here.

Now that you've backed a dump truck of feedback onto our inboxes, we'll be chewing through that, but if you have any further thoughts let us know.

原文我就不翻了(英文渣，詳見2樓喪失翻譯^^)，大概就是V婊承認天際不是適合MOD付費，
至於看得懂這篇的人就知道.....人家可沒說以後就不會做喔.....

這幾天國外玩家的激烈抗議、以及聯署申訴，steam正式撤下付費功能，
而一場好戲就此落幕，V婊揮揮袖口輕盈的退場，而那些當初跳槽收費的modders.....哀.....。
(表示同情，你要他們怎麼繼續做人下去....)

这里是无良的翻译君。

Removing Payment Feature From Skyrim Workshop
天际的创意工坊已撤销付费功能
04 月 28 日 - ALDEN

We're going to remove the payment feature from the Skyrim workshop. For anyone who spent money on a mod, we'll be refunding you the complete amount. We talked to the team at Bethesda and they agree.
我们将会撤销天际创意工坊的付费功能。所有在创意工坊中MOD上付款的玩家，我们都会把付款金全额退还给您。这是我们与贝塞斯达团队商量后决定的。

We've done this because it's clear we didn't understand exactly what we were doing. We've been shipping many features over the years aimed at allowing community creators to receive a share of the rewards, and in the past, they've been received well. It's obvious now that this case is different.
我们之所以这么做是因为，很明显我们并没有很确切地理解到我们在做什么。我们近年来已经推出了许多功能，旨在能够使得社区创作者们能够获得他们相应比例的报酬。在过去，这些功能运作的不错，但很明显，在现在这种情况下是行不通的。

To help you understand why we thought this was a good idea, our main goals were to allow mod makers the opportunity to work on their mods full time if they wanted to, and to encourage developers to provide better support to their mod communities. We thought this would result in better mods for everyone, both free & paid. We wanted more great mods becoming great products, like Dota, Counter-strike, DayZ, and Killing Floor, and we wanted that to happen organically for any mod maker who wanted to take a shot at it.
帮助你理解一下为什么我们认为这是个好主意，我们的主要目标是让MOD制作者们有机会全力投入进MOD的制作工作中，如果他们愿意的话，并鼓励制作者为MOD社区提供更好的MOD。我们认为这样会令MOD的质量更高，不管MOD是免费还是付费，所有人都能受益。我们希望有更多本身不错的MOD成为很棒的成品，像是DOTA，CS，DayZ和杀戮间（译注），我们真心希望有这种意愿的MOD制作者能够来尝试一下。

译注：这四款游戏都是源自其他游戏框架的模组，也就是MOD，但后来都发展为热销的成品，V婊这话是希望有更多的MOD作者能够把项目做大成独立成品~~（然后再放到STEAM上继续圈钱）~~。

But we underestimated the differences between our previously successful revenue sharing models, and the addition of paid mods to Skyrim's workshop. We understand our own game's communities pretty well, but stepping into an established, years old modding community in Skyrim was probably not the right place to start iterating. We think this made us miss the mark pretty badly, even though we believe there's a useful feature somewhere here.
但我们低估了我们先前的成功受益与共享模式之间的差异，并在天际的创意工坊中添加了付费MOD的功能。我们了解我们游戏的社区真的很棒，但先行踏足上古卷轴5这个已经有些历史的插件社区开始推行付费政策是个大错误。我们认为这使我们严重偏离了原本的目标，尽管如此我们依然相信这个功能一定会在某些地方很有用处。

Now that you've backed a dump truck of feedback onto our inboxes, we'll be chewing through that, but if you have any further thoughts let us know.

现在你们的反馈意见已经一股脑地倒进了我们的收件箱中，我们将会认真阅读每一条反馈信息，但如果你有任何进一步的想法，请告诉我们。

渣翻译，请轻喷

。反正大概意思就是V婊惹不起上古这个老MOD社区，但MOD付费政策肯定还是会在其他游戏的创意工坊推行的。
只能说无商不奸惹

。

“even though we believe there's a useful feature somewhere here. ”
说明他们还没有完全放弃这个市场，只是目前的这种方式他们觉得不适合而已

“Now that you've backed a dump truck of feedback onto our inboxes"
所以他们之所以放弃这个项目就是因为各种喷子……所以……喷子万岁？？？
