TheyвЂ™re starting with Skyrim for now, with more games set to follow. This new moderation process for Steam Workshop items is almost undoubtedly going to follow the same process - not actual content curation, but rather the bare minimum that would be expected of any company with ValveвЂ™s resources.Valve has just announced that modders will be able to charge for their work on the Steam Workshop. Valve means вЂњmaliciousвЂќ in the cyber-security sense here, not in the вЂњcute pro-Hitler anime gameвЂќ sense, which is something that can be readily found on Steam. Greenlight was, of course, as vulnerable to manipulation and toxic mob mentality as Steam Reviews are today, so in 2017 it too was dissolved and replaced by Steam Direct, a system where publishers simply pay Valve to get their game on the service.ДЄ game published through Steam Direct is ostensibly checked by a human employee to ensure that itвЂ™s вЂњconfigured correctly, matches the description provided on the store page, and doesnвЂ™t contain malicious content,вЂќ according to Valve, but donвЂ™t let the phrase вЂњmalicious contentвЂќ fool you. Valve has taken a hands-off approach to preemptively reviewing the content that appears on Steam since 2012, when SteamвЂ™s internal curation process was dissolved in favor of Steam Greenlight, a community-lead system. The official Steam Support Twitter account hasnвЂ™t tweeted since 2017. Valve issued the policy change quietly, and has made no public statement regarding its implementation, or which games are protected by the new moderation system. Since the Steam Workshop is largely a lawless hinterland - where honest hobbyists are besieged on all sides by thieves, racists, and criminals - CS:GO players have had to simply endure until now.

ItвЂ™s worth noting that this new, commonsense policy is not going to be implemented on every Steam title with Workshop support, but only for вЂњcertain Workshops that have been the target of scams leading to hijacked accounts.вЂќ Counter Strike: Global Offensive ( CS:GO) seems to be the first game to enjoy this added level of human intervention, as its unofficial subreddit was the first to notice the policy change.Д¬ounter Strike: GOвЂs Steam Workshop has been in ruins for some time, thanks to the efforts of an army of scam artists and bots that have up-voted duplicate, nefarious Workshop mods, while simultaneously down-voting legitimate content. Both of these steps are designed to prevent scams and account theft in the Steam Workshop.вЂќ вЂњAfter youвЂ™ve successfully verified your submission, Valve moderation staff needs to approve the item before it becomes publicly visible. вЂњIf you are submitting an item to the workshop for the first time, youвЂ™ll need to verify the submission via email,вЂќ the newly updated Workshop support page reads. This put the earlier events into perspective and thus, everything made sense. I learned shortly thereafter that Valve has implemented living, human moderation staff for parts of Steam, whose job is to check the content being uploaded to Steam Workshop. Later, as I scanned the news over my customary Eggo and Picross breakfast, I noticed that snowball futures are doing extremely well in arid markets. I looked out my window this morning to see a pig take flight.
