Also, every modder on the planet (myself included, although I don't consider myself to be a 'modder' at all, more of a 'tweaker' at best) falls into the same trap: they think other people place as much importance on their work as they do.I think part of it is a particular type of player migrating over from games like Forza, used to all the timed unicorn cars/auction house nonsense and the type of person that wants something unique that they can show off to people that don't have it. This enables these kind of crappy practices as the modders know they'll have an audience of fools willing to pay for their shoddy ripped work just so they can wave it in other people's faces.
I suspect PC gaming being what it is, it will self correct at some point and once a paywall modder has enough interesting content out there, some good fellow will take the hit and then release it all to the wild. A lot of toys will get thrown out of various prams and the world will move on.
Newflash, everybody: no matter how good the mod is it's all disposable and the vast majority will likely be used once or twice then forgotten or deleted as shiny new things arrive to replace them. Rinse, repeat. This is why modders charging for ripped content or inflating its importance by forcing tasks to be completed before releasing them (500 likes!!11) are probably deluding themselves.
