Hopefully people can stop with the “I bet Bethesda will take down skyblivion!1!!” comments now. It’s very clear there’s good will between modders and the devs.
Always be suspicious of corporations.
What is the point of this cynical comment in this context. Everyone is winning here.
“We beat you to it bitches. And while you’ve spent 9 years on your labor of love and and made nothing from it, we will make tens of millions. Here’s a couple copies of our shittily optimized remaster just to rub it in :)”
Sincerely Todd
Anyone play Fallout London? I couldn’t rollback the pointless update that cockblocked the mod. This time, they just make an attempt to squeeze out money before skyblivion offers the option.
Unless Bethesda actually fully embraces and supports the modding community, I’ll never buy another one of their games.
their eula for oblivion remastered forbids modding
Source? Iirc it just said that modding wasn’t supported, not forbidden

That means literally nothing to modders, and about 99% of gamers, at all.
I’m even surprised people had enough energy/time/whatever to even scour the EULA at the very beginning.
Some of us care about who we give our money to
I understand that, and I care who I give my money to as well.
But almost every game nowadays has that clause, and almost every game regardless of single player or not, has mods for it.
This is also a Bethesda game. People are going to mod it out the ass regardless of what a few words in a text box say. The fact you think it means anything like we’ll never get official mod support is pretty cooked tbh.
Yes we should give Microsoft and Bethesda the benefit of the doubt. They’ve never done anything shady like try to sell mods before.
