How many times do we have to teach you this lesson, old man?!

[CitizenKing]

Todd keeps trying to shove microtransaction mods into his games and every single time there's huge pushback from the community because its like he's selling bottled water right next to the community fountain we've all been using comfortably for ages.

Yeah, but the bottled water is filtered, chlorine-free, and nobody's french kissing it before you. ;) You know why he doesn't care? Because all of the people complaining are completely irrelevant.

Agree, and interesting is how 1000 reviews somehow trumps 14 million players is beyond me.

It looks like a vocal but very small minority pitching a fit like 2 year old babies.

Elder Scrolls 6 will be exactly like Starfield if not worse

Well good, I'll be purchasing another good game from Bethesda then...

Why wouldn't it be?

Todd thinks singleplayer games are live service. His brain has rotted to the level of John Riccitiello of EA and Strauss Zelnick at Take Two.

I really have no strong feelings about BGS, but seeing that you mentioned EA, I just wanna say I hate them with a passion. They can jump off a cliff after what they did to the Command & Conquer franchise. They release one game and they totally balls it up to the point it kills the franchise.

Rant over - sorry I have to vent whenever I see EA mentioned.

Yeah, you really showed him. How many millions of dollars is in his bank account? Do you think he cares what you think?

A better question is,
How Many Times Do We Need To Hear The Same Sky Is Falling Nonsense

Starfields Creations is no worse, in fact in many ways better, than the Creation Club before it.
Doom and disaster has not befallen the previous games under worse circumstances, there is zero reason to think it will this time.

That fountain? It just keeps getting bigger and better as the years go on. So what if a merchant sets up next to it, ignore it if you prefer the free water.

So don't buy them, 'problem' solved.

I think you might be confused as to which old man isn't learning the lesson.

Maybe you can pay $7.00 per quest for an entire Factions quest-line and that will make you happy. Maybe $100.00 per faction x3 or 4 factions plus the cost of the base game for Elder Scrolls 6.

Can I? I must've missed that. I'll go look again.

Oh wait, no. That hasn't happened.

When I was 12, if I saw something I didn't like I moved on and spent my money somewhere else.

What the heck happened to today's kids?

[MrNewVegas87]

The community that complained about paid mods only "taught Bethesda a lesson" a single time.[www.polygon.com] Now not only have paid mods continued since 2015, but the original system Bethesda and Valve first planned for all the way back then has effectively returned with "Creations", and there is a near zero possibility that Bethesda cares about the backlash, seeing as how they've ignored it successfully since the Creation Club was first announced in 2016.

[Bear your Bears]

I've been supportive of paid mods since the trial of using the steam store got shut down.
What the morons don't realize is that at least if it had been through the steam store, we could have actually attempted to refund items. Now we MUST use Toddbux and have no recourse if a new mod we want to try has conflicts that weren't forseen with a mod we already have.

Mod authors can elect to use the free systems available to share their content, however there's nothing pancake-eating wrong with someone investing hundreds of hours into creating content.

I'm sure it's the kind of winners that also decry unpaid internships as if that is one of the worlds greatest evils. While also crying that their mods aren't free. Damned hypocrites.
