The only problem with it was people felt entitled to free mods. They weren't changing ANYTHING for existing mods. They were just adding the option for mod devs to charge for their mods. From what I've heard Valve has implied they'd try again on new games. IIRC they said that they shouldn't have messed with an established modding community or something along those lines.
Also the problem with the idea of a donation button is -barely anyone donates.- I've never donated to anything where I haven't gotten donator perks for doing so, and I'm pretty sure -at least- 99% of gamers are the same. Even if you do donate to one or two mods you're still only donating to only one out of the thousands of mods out there.
