my experience with the steam workshop is better than reinventing the wheel as they do now. In steam you just subscribe to mods and you always have the latest version. For mod creators there is a nice feedback to how well your mod is doing and what bugs users experience.searker wrote:The Workshop isnt really necessary since you can access the website a.k.a.

Just using Workshop wouldnt allow people using the direct-downloaded version to access the mods.
Using both systems would just lead to confusion within the community since some mods might get only released on one of both platforms (if that is the Workshop, apply the previous sentence).
For all the hate steam is getting here, they do know how to do things right. It seems only pirating 'costumers' are worried about loggins or steam workshop scenarios. How would that come...
