Edit 2: Reports are that Valve takes 30% of money from mods, devs take 45%. This is even worse than I thought. This will open the door for massive embezzlement. Don't believe me? Here's how they'll do it. Employee at game developer steals DLC that's been cancelled and releases it as a mod, while disguised as a modder. They get 25%, Valve gets 30%, the developer gets robbed of 25%.
