Ongoing Steam Saga on Paid Skyrim Mods Worsens

Over the weekend, gamers have taken to various ways to voice their displeasure on internet forums, with the Steam Review feature definitely not spared the brunt of the growing discontent. In particular, players have been making use of the user review system to downvote the game.

Currently, as it stands, the game has been down-voted to a 'Very Positive' 90% from an 'Overwhelmingly Positive' 98% before the saga started. Definitely not positive at all.

On top of that, the negative reviews have been gathering votes, promoting them to the front page of the user reviews, with a sampling shown below. Most reviews currently shown on the front page have more or less similar content voicing displeasure about the paid mod implementation.

The petition set up at Change.org is definitely gathering steam (sorry for the pun in more ways than one, couldn't help it), having exceeded the 100k signatures mark and going strong at 108k as of writing.

Elsewhere on the internet, Valve's CEO, Gabe Newell, seems to have realised that they have 'done something to piss off the internet,' and setting up an Ask Me Anything (AMA) session on popular /r/Gaming Reddit to gather opinions and questions about the recent unpopular decision. It has gathered 16k comments as of writing.
