Valve has announced that they will be allowing content creators to charge for workshop mods:

The Steam Workshop has always been a great place for sharing mods, maps, and all kinds of items that you’ve created. Now it's also a great place for selling those creations. With a new, streamlined process for listing and selling your creations, the Steam Workshop now supports buying mods directly from the Workshop, to be immediately usable in game. Discover the best new mods for your game and enable the creators to continue making new items and experiences.

While this seems a great way to incentivize the creation of more and better mods, of course not all gamers are happy about it. [venturebeat.com - Warning: lots of javascript]

    I don't know why people are so upset about this. It's just steam letting modders...charge for their mods

    This is not what people are disagreeing with.

    And yet people see it as some kind of money-grubbing scheme from steam.

    Suuuure, and scientologists are just informing people about their religion. A non-objectionable idea done wrongly can lead to an objectionable practice. Your reddit-grade rhetoric isn't going to fly here.
