Note that we do not allow non-gaming meme templates as submissions. Submissions must be directly gaming-related, not just a 'forced' connection via the title or a caption added to the content. Directly messaging individual moderators may result in a temporary ban. Only message the team via the link above. Please comment around before posting.ĭo NOT private message or use reddit chat to contact moderators about moderator actions. Please note, you are required to have some r/gaming Community Karma to make a post. Simply message the moderators and ask us to look into it. This would give the creators their privacy over their mods as they want, while also accounting for other creators who wish for everyone to enjoy their mods.If your submission does not appear, do not delete it. This checkbox would make their mod able to be downloaded anonymously, letting anyone download the mod (without having to own the game on steam). If this seems a bit too difficult, steam could also just allow all users to get mods without requiring a game license.Īnother final option (which seems like the best medium) is to allow mod creators to have a checkbox for this. I suggest a way to verify that the user actually has a licensed copy of the game, no matter the originating store, and to provide mods for such users. However, there is currently no alternative solution to get mods for these games, leaving a large portion of the playerbase which would like to use mods, without any other option. I understand (as stated in the Steam Subscriber Agreement), that Valve does not have any such obligation to distribute workshop content.

This is predominantly an issue as most mods are posted onto the Steam Workshop, which is the most popular distribution method for said mods.

However, some games have this feature disabled, leading to said non-Steam games lacking any way to install mods from the Steam Workshop. The only alternative solution would be to use the Steam CMD console to fetch mods through an anonymous user / logged account. These mods could then be manually installed into games which were not featured on steam (Xbox Game Pass, GOG, Epic Games, etc). Previously, a tool named the 'Steam Workshop Downloader' was used to download mods (This was discontinued as per Valve's request).
