The perverse incentives alone can be enough to ruin the whole modding scene for the game
Maybe, but people's egos alone are enough to causing issues in the mod community, I'm not sure paid mods are necessarily going to make this significantly worse.
One or two egotistical modders don't ruin the entire community unless those are the only modders in said community.
Greed ruins everything, though.
Not only would once free mods suddenly have a price tag, you're gonna get a lot of bullshit shovelware mods flooding the scene trying to capitalize on the market.
