How is Blizzard monetizing on a modder's work? I can't find information on cost for the service.

Blizzard has announced that they are going to have a system where map creators can charge for particular maps, and Blizzard will take a big cut.

In other words, they are going to make it so map creators can make a profit somewhere they never could before. God damn you, Blizzard.

I'm not saying it's a terrible idea, only that it's probably a big portion of their motivation to centralize and control map distribution.
