IMO the game maker deserves a cut, after all they did make the base product the mod is for. Without the work of the game studio the mod wouldn’t exist.
At least 70% should go to the mod maker since they put in the effort to make the mod. Valve and the dev studio can split the 30%, valve deserves a cut as well since they’re maintaining the storage and delivery of these mods and presumably facilitating the financial transactions associated with these paid mods through their store. Storage and network usage isn’t free and neither are running CC transactions which people seem to forget.
The game devs have already been paid from you buying the actual game. They shouldn't get to profit off of other people's work in the form of mods that they put no effort into creating.
Because more people will buy a game with an active modding community.
Because it improves longevity and value for the game. Minecraft became a billion dollar business solely on the back of modders.
