It was a good motivation to develop mods, I wonder if you ever had try to mod something. It is a lot of work, and can be easily broken, and might not be compatible to some other monstrous mods. Yes, it is a privilege that Bethesda release Creation kit, but, the way Skirim has been improved is amazing, it is almost a new game. At least compared to piece of cake vanilla Skyrim, modders might be the only reason Skyrim is still popular 4 years after. Im agree, 75%-25% was a fair proportion, becuase we are using the Skyrim and Creation kit plataforms, which belongs to Bethesda, thats 99% of the job, even for rights and hosting. Honestly, I think many amazing modders has lost an opportunity, so as Bethesda.
