Thank you for your answers, much appreciated. :smile: Yes, it clears it up a little bit, and I understand your valid points. Nevertheless, with all due respect it seems to me that you forget one important thing : the context. We are talking here about Skyrim, not an old game like KOTOR, or DRMs like SecuROM with limited product activations. NexusMods hosts mods for a lot of games, including very old games, where this tolerating-cracked-games policy may be understandable. But Skyrim is a modern game, with a non-intrusive DRM (you just have to authenticate your game one time and after that you can play with Steam offline forever), unlimited product activations on an unlimited number of computers. The developer is even still active - there is currently a patch in beta. So in the specific case of Skyrim I can't see how it would be "not illegal" (it's against Bethesda's EULA) and how it could "serve extremely useful purposes". It was my two cents, of course, I'm not saying I'm right and you're wrong. And ultimately it's up to moderators to apply the rules, of course.
