Once again, Bethesda (stalkers?) fans overreact

[Ruenis]

There are literally only 7 paid mods right now. Yes, you read right.

1) Aldmeri Anti-Mage
2) Arquebus
3) East Empire Expansion
4) Katja the Thief
5) Legendary Dungeons: Dwarven Delves
6) Shadetree Lodge
7) Winterfrost Plus Edition

Not all 7 are pictured here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3106238392

The mods that have always been free, are still free: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3106223922

As you were.

I've seen some modders I know deleting all their mods from bethesda mods and saying they will never again upload their mods there. This was a huge mistake from Bethesda. They will lose a lot of modders because all they think about is money and not the happiness of their community.

The Creation Club mods are literally designed to work alongside one another.

Y'all are literally fussing about a limited scope that ends when the compatibility between all the connected Creation Club mods runs out.

Lol.

One would guess this is not the matter of paid-mods quantity "right now", but a matter of their quantity in the future and the matter of the "principle" (or the idea) of "free mods".

People think that some mods being paid-for will eventually proceed to "free" mods being banned and only mods accessible being from Bethesda, and then all mods accessible to be paid-for.

And considering how long ago the Horse Armor was pushed... Well... People have the right be cautious.

Personally, I see no wrong in paying a modder for a mod, but I also think a modder should not be forcibly tied to the maker of the original game, nor should he "have" to share profits.

Or, for that matter, any plugin for any application can be made paid-for by its author, but makers of the original application should not get their cut for that plugin if they did nothing, because they already got paid for the application.

Now, one could also argue that within lawful limits in some jurisdictions makers of applications may have some ability to restrict plugins and/or demand their share of payments for those plugins... Yes maybe... I just do not think it is "right", but also I am a faceless internet entity, I can think whatever I wish, and no one is obliged to obey =D

A 6 dollar gun sure was worth breaking every DLL mod yet again, yep.

[Insomniac Jack]

No it's an absolutely warranted reaction, without preemptive measures, updates break people's modded games to the degree of destroying saves and making them unplayable. Not to mention the headache of waiting for every mod you're using to get updated (or going through the lengths of doing so yourself).

Although I must say, the "East Empire Expansion" looks like a step in the right direction, but until they add a dlc sized mod these updates aren't close to worth it (at least for pc players).

Ah, but the number of its sales multiplies by its cost! Profits! =D

They had SIX YEARS to make Creation Club worth it, they failed terribly. And this won't really make creation club content more enticing as it still runs with the same flawed base

Imagine defending paid mods.

Well my game is totally porked. Cheers for that and merry Xmass.

- Made for 1.6.629
- Worked flawlessly on 1.6.640

Your comment is literally half-baked, lmfao.

And just how much do modders get paid after Bethesda grabs their share of the profits? And probably Zenimax and Microsoft as well?

Bethesda doesn't care about the modders, this is just another cynical, lazy attempt to milk even more cash from a 12 year old game.

Paid mods are still paid mods, regardless of how many of them there are.
