There was also the issue of people flooding the workshop with garbage mods (and some did already for the lulz) and overpriced mods, along with the potential cluster#*(!@#$ of mods breaking from other mods or official game updates. Not only that, you only had 24 hours to get a refund on a mod you have an issue with, but were then banned from the marketplace for a week to prevent gaming on the system. All of that does not even come close to Square's cash shop, which has zero effect on the game itself.
