Paying for this Mod?
With Valve adding the option to add a cost to mods is there any plan for to do so with this mod jfarias?

I am not against the developer getting paid for their work on a mod. But can I make a suggestion? If you would like to get paid for your work on this mod please provide an option for those of us that use this mod to donate funds to you through some means other than Steam. I don't think that it would be fair to jfarias to give 75% of the funds to Valve which is the rate that Valve keeps when purchases are made through Steam.

Hi Dyemond42,

As long as I'm at the helm, Traffic++ will NOT be paid.

I could write a wall of text on the subject but the baseline is that I don't feel comfortable selling something without any kind of warranty (support, future updates, compatibility, etc).

I've created this mod to learn, to practice and because this is what I love to do. Getting money out of it has never crossed my mind and the proof of that is that there's currently no way for anyone to send it my way.

Having said that, donations are certainly welcome and very much appreciated. More than just a few bucks, each donation represents someone that really enjoys my mod and that feeling is priceless. So, I'll probably add a paypal link in the next few days (maybe after the next update).


A quick note on the 75%: I read somewhere (Gabe's AMA I think) that Valve takes 30% and the rest is decided by the game developer. Bethesda might have been the greedy one here and CO/PDX may choose other values (if they decide to go with it).

I read that as well after I made this post, and I am glad to hear that Valve is not the one being exceedingly greedy.

I would be more than happy to donate to you so I will continue looking for the Paypal link.

Thanks for being an awesome developer/modder!

I too am happy to donate, I really love the T++ mod and the direction it's heading in. It should be made clear that people who donate do *not* get any preferrential treatment in deciding directon taken to avoid any false assumptions on the part of those donating.

Agreed, but since I am not lookin for preferential treatment, or really even a say other than the voting page as to the direction that this mod should go it won't be a problem.

I just feel that jfarias has done an excellent job with this mod so far, including contacting some of us that were having errors with a recent update so that we could test the newer beta features meant to fix the problems. He has been very professional and I would like to help him get some benefit from this mod.

Well the update was rolled back so it's not really a worry now.
