Has Bethesda said anything about endoral being a steam game?

[ITPlanet]

What the title says. Just curious.

What should they say about it?

This mod is free and you need Oldrim (Skyrim 32bit) to run it.
So it's actually a reason to buy Skyrim, which should please Bethesda.

bethesda are the ones who approved the shop page

I don't think Bethesda could really say anything anyways since (I don't believe) they are making any money off it. Plus it only helps Bethesda sell more copies of Skyrim

for anyone who is too lazy to click a link:

"Bethesda has actually been super supportive in recent years. They sent us a pricy champagne when we won the Game Award (or did we?) and Matt Grandstaff in particular has been extremely reponsive whenever we had questions. Of course, they maintain a certain distance and we're not getting any extra privileges due to company policy, but so far, we have no reason to complain. :)"

Wait what?

I didn't knew they would damn their 32bit Skyrim into abyss. oO


Addition:
Just checked it myself on the store page.
Found
- SKSE
- Skyrim VR
- Skyrim Special Edition
- Skyrim Creation Club

Feels somehow awful. Skyrim 32bit isn't that bad, especially after Microsoft adressed the VRAM bug with DirectX9 games.

This is the link to Oldrim:

thats the reason sureai linked the original skyrim TWO TIMES on the shop page on Enderal.

[Just Chill]

Good move.
Otherwise I could see people start complaining about. XD

The internet is good at complaining.

[Dragon Fist Ent]

is that the legal team saying that or is that just a dev team saying that, because the legal team have been know to be a little sue crazy when they feel like it. seriously they went after a youtuber just because his phone game was called fortress fallout.

[Just Chill]

I really would love to read the formal document which contains the reasoning for the sue.

Dear SureAI,

we have to inform you about our company takes legal action against your total conversion Enderal based on our remarkable video game Skyrim (32bit).

Even though we openly stated that you can do whatever you want with our game, we actually didn't mean it that way.
So you are not allowed to freely provide this modification on Steam even as you don't violate our terms of service and try to sell a game based on our work.

Please watch this video to fully understand our concerns:

It's not ok for us that your game just requires Skyrim.
We can come to a compromise, if you agree to sell this modification of our game for around 30 to 40 USD and give us 50% of the profit (the one you receive, where the profit for Valve is already settled).

Suit yourself, we are waiting for your answer to this offer you can't refuse.

Sincerely,

Bethesda Game Studios

Well... I would buy it as I did for Black Mesa, where I own now 4 different versions of Half-Life 1.
