Minecraft Torchlight Torchlight II Grim Dawn Borderlands 1 and 2 (and the Pre-sequel now and then). Rebel Galaxy Rebel Galaxy Outlaw. Diablo II (I've played this at least a few hours a week since it came out) Right now i'm 100 or so hours into Elder Scrolls online and can't get enough of it.

Facebook's Nexus page is awesome. Terrorfox is doing a stellar job. I love the new site design now that I've gotten used to it. Keep up the good work.

While I have a Reddit account I think it's pretty shitty the Nexus forces people to sign up to Reddit to enter instead of giving them a way to do it here.

Welcome to the community! It took me five seconds to google this. The answer from Pete Hines himself is, "Basically, yes." http://www.pcgamer.com/existing-skyrim-mods-will-be-almost-fully-compatible-with-the-special-edition/

Well said.

In response to post #23719594. To me at least it's not a question of whether they're 'worth' a certain amount although I would argue that -most- (but not all) mods are pretty worthless, Sturgeons law being what it is but as far as why it's important mods remain free...well like Dark0ne has pointed out-it's more than just about playing games. It's about expressing creativity and sharing the experience. It's like a bunch of artists creating together in a commune. What happens when you go from the primary motivation being shared creativity to the primary motivation being money? I dunno...it's definitely a tricky situation but not everyone is saying modders are worthless or their mods have no value. Only idiots and people looking to take advantage of others are saying that.

In response to post #23711399. #23717184, #23730209 are all replies on the same post. It's not a mod. They completely overhauled it. Engine changes, models, graphics. Sure it -looks- like Homeworld but quite a bit more effort went into than goes into most games never mind mods.

I am, too. I think this all could have been easily avoided. I suspect they really had no choice but to do this, but that doesn't mean we can't all give them a second chance (well, with some folks you might. I can't claim to speak for everyone, and don't). Kreisher..modders can be your best friends, or your worst enemy. You've seen a bit of the latter..don't blow this. You've got some amazingly creative and inspiring people here. . I'd love to come back in a few months and see you working with modders in order to foster a community full of creative people inspiring other creative people. No matter what, tho, i'm sure that I don't need to tell you that we'll all be watching.

I'm going to chime in here and recommend that if you can find a copy of Hellgate:London, a really underrated third/first person action/rpg, you can get a fan patch from the Hellgate:Revival forums (Revival patch 1.2.1 I think is the most current, tho there's been talk of a 1.5 patch in the works, but it might take awhile for them to finish it, as they have to completely rewrite their mod installer). It fixes a LOT of gltches, bugged quests, and rewrites some of the quest text so that it matches up a lot more with the settng and the storyline from the books, tho you don't need to have read any of them to follow along with the story. Here's a link to the page with the patch download, tho I recommend perusing the Faq section. http://www.hellgateaus.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=4 Here's the link to the current version of Reanimator, their mod/patch installer http://www.hellgateaus.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=69 There's also a really awesome mod called Lost London 2.0, with a 3.0 in the works.

Wether you planned on charging for mod access or not, you still uploaded material that is covered by copyright. Bethesda/Runic/anyone who gives others permission to modify their work, have a copyright on the materials they created, and the materials the mod creators create is copyright them. Most developers that allow modding grant licenses to the people who want to mod their game. Right there, you're in trouble. You might be allowed to download but you're in no way legally allowed to redistribute without specific permission. All this frustration with the fact that people are standing up for their rights has no justification. You broke the law-deal with it, and just be glad that the only thing you have to deal with for now is bad publicity, instead of having to spend money on a lawyer, or having your ISP shut you down due to a flood of DMCA takedown notices. ISP's tend to frown on their servers being used for anything illegal.

Yes, please be 'polite' and kill them with kindness, and through legal means. I didn't intend this to cause people to sink to their level in order to get back at them. Word of mouth and mod creators using legal means in order to get copyrighted materials removed is going to do far more harm to this site than any other kind of action, no matter how well intended. I see this sort of thing happen in the furry fandom all the time. Content is stolen from art sites such as Furaffinity and reposted on websites without permission. I guess this is why I felt so strongly about this. Not only have I been able to get so much more enjoyment out of my games due to people who mod, but I happen to be friends with a few artists who have had their artwork ripped off and used by others to make a profit. it pisses me off. Still..please don't let this dude rattle you. You have rights as content creators, learn them and use them to your advantage. Also, someone brought up letting Bethesda know. By all means, modders. Get in touch with the companies who are gracious enough to share their creations with you and allow you to modify them and let them know that someone is showing them AND you an enormous amount of disrespect.
