You're actually unable to see the inherent contradiction in this? Bethesda could shut down SKSE instantly, any time they wanted, but instead they provide preview copies so that their bug fixes cause as little issue as possible. And from this you conclude that they are actively trying to destroy the modding community? This is why the conspiracy nut crowd in modding is worthless. I seriously doubt Beth is intentionally trying to screw modders or any of that nonsense. What I don't understand is why they are making any changes at all to a ten year old game. There is certainly little money in it. Why not put out something new that will make them real money.

I agree with the general sentiment, if your game is working well, don't update. A great many mods will not work in AE and likely never will, as the authors are long gone. The additional few things added by AE are not worth the hassle IMHO. I did update, accidentally, and now I'm stuck redoing my entire load order (which in my case isn't a bad thing since I really needed to "cull the herd") and it's a big pain in the buttocks.

Good lord, Again? Can't they just leave this game alone? And the wait for an SKSE update starts once more......
