Hytale boss doesn't want its mod browser to feel like "a shopping mall," but is exploring ways to support creators

Hytale will keep mods in its in-game browser free to browse and install by default, with no price tags attached.

Founder Simon Collins-Laflamme said the studio is exploring optional creator support models instead of paid mods.

Possible ideas include an in-game Patreon-style system or paid perks like early builds.

The team wants to avoid a storefront-like experience and is still gathering community feedback before finalizing the policy.
