Thoughts on recent Valve decision?

Hello folks! So I tried to get back into video games as a fun hobby to pass the time, but ultimately I was reminded why I stopped enjoying games in the first place.

I'm sure most of you are aware of Valve and Bethesda's latest decision to allowed transaction mods (aka micro-dlc) and completely destroy the faith that game modding was built upon. As much debate that can be made from this, our saviorex-savior Gabe Newell decided to have a Q&A on Le Reddit. Here is his wonderful showcase of beating around the bush/not predicting the future:

Any thoughts?

Gabe sure does avoid questions a lot. Especially from the owner of Nexus. They got into a discussion about it, and I really hope it turns for the best for not-Valve.

I honestly believe it will be the downfall of Valve if they keep it up.  Say this spreads to Garry's Mod and Kerbal Space Program.  The sole reason so many people play those games is because you can do so much more with the mods built for them.  If those mods begin to have prices put on them, it will destroy the player base, ruin servers, and ultimately make the games infinitely more bland.

Usually, I love everything Valve does.  But this... This is utterly bullshit.

The only way to fix this is if every user on Steam boycotts this system.  If people will buy these mods, Valve will get money and not give a single fuck about the rest of us.  They need to see that this is a waste of time and will significantly increase their EA-like status with their users.
