So as you guys know I'm pretty big into the modding scene for Bethesda games (at least on PC), but the company has really disgraced itself as of late.
They have just released something called the 'Creation Club' which is dubbed as a 'place where we can distribute content that adds to the base game.'
Seems fine. Problem is the 'content' is actually add-ons to the game that are essentially mods that actually cost REAL WORLD money.
In fact most if not ALL of the content on there so far is actually available for free on the Nexus which is a FREE MODDING SITE that doesn't charge you a dime. The content on the Nexus is also better in quality.
They tried to have paid mods before for Skyrim and received a huge backlash due to it, and thus abandoned the idea.
Companies that do this are the worst kind of slime, and it is very sad to see Bethesda taking part in this to try and skim some money out of the naive.
This new instance however REEKS of money grab, industry greed s*** show!
I pretty much agree with what this guy is saying here:
TLDR: how do you feel about paid mods offered by the developer? Should this even be a thing when there are FREE alternatives that are better? I mean I know you can download FREE mods for Fallout 4 on the Xbox One.
How does it even make sense to offer up the same content behind a paywall instead?
Mind = Blown.
