“One of the things that I’ll call out is, it’s important for us not just to enable that, but to participate,” he said. “To make is easy for them, to make this where they can make it not just a hobby, but a career."

What they really want: a sanitized official mod store that dominates over the Nexus and Loverslab. I'm not sure how they're going to pull that off, but I fully expect them to try.

not just a hobby, but a career

They're definitely planning on making a mod store.

Already have. Fallout 4's mod store has so much mod "dlc" microtransactions on it that when you add it all up, it's several times the cost of the base game and all of its dlc combined.

Modders should be compensated. I'm not too convinced Microsoft's cut won't be too big to make the whole thing worth charging for. It's a big ask to sell mods since that's not the norm. Patreon or something might be more viable way for modders.
