In response to post #24744549. Meh, I think Bethesda quickly saw how pear shaped things were going and that the projected sales was not going to be worth the absolute s***storm that brewed up so fast. Also that many well known modders resisted the scheme...damage limitation comes to mind. Perhaps I`m being overly cynical, but I suspect it`s more to do with the whole thing backfiring badly, than out of concern for the community.
