Peregrine Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Well, the final proof that the pay-per-download plugins are just a way of getting more money... the game's barely released, and we already have the first one for sale. So obviously there wasn't some massive effort involved in making it. Why couldn't we have it included with the game? Because it gives Bethesda more money if they leave features out of the game so they can sell it to us later! Oh well, at least they're not charging as much as EA yet...

I'm not going to buy this expansion. If I really want horse armor, I'll mod it in myself for myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edstamos1 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 3 out no less!this is probably why there's not 3ds plugin out yet (unless it came out recently without my knowing) - simply to limit the amount of user mods with new meshes so they can better pimp their own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark0ne Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 They're crappy mods not worth any money; but atleast we don't need to get them. It's not as bad as EA releasing BF2 expansions with over-powered guns that can be used in the vanilla version of the game. Now that really took the piss.

clintonius Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I would pay a small fee for a mini expansion like the way EQII did for its mini expansions. With that said, I refuse to pay for an idividual mod. There are literally hundreds of useful mods out there and I couldn't imagine having to pay for all of them. A package of mods is one thing but a single mod is just rediculous. As for the patches, I feel it would be insane for Bethesda to make us pay for their error. Pathes should be a company's little way of saying "We made a mistake, so let us make it up to you.", not held for ransom. It is just not right to offer people a free service and then begin charging them once you start doubling your profits. I believe price gouging should only be reserved for when your company is in the crapper, not when it is on top. But sadly, people will buy just about anything if it is marketed to them properly. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveme4whoiam Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Disgusting. Further proof that the games industry is going downhill faster than a pushed Himalayan mountain goat. The mod community for MW was incredible, and Bethsoft has totally turned its back on them. I consider them worse than EA, since we all new that they were gutter-snipe bastards with the moral fibre and ingenuity of a broken-backed rat. For Bethsoft to turn on the loyal modders is so much worse than that. Bastards. <--- Disillusioned :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilhippo Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Why is this bad? If they are continuing to work on stuff, why should they do it for free? They are a BUSINESS guys, not a charity. The people working on the mods are being paid, so where do you think the money for that comes from? I have no problem paying one lousy pound (or two bucks) for a profession quality mod when a coffee in Starbucks costs more than that. Why do people think they are just entitled to professionally done work for nothing? If the mods do not appeal to you, don't buy them, but why complain if they want to charge for them? No one is ENTITLED to their continuing work if they do not feel like giving it away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they're limiting the possibility of players creating good free mods since they haven't released the export plugin. And a coffee at starbucks costs more than alot of things - I could buy my entire lunch for the cost of a coffee at starbucks. I don't mind them charging for plugins, so long as they provide players with the opportunity to make these types of mods as well. Then you pay for the official mods if the quality is there and they're worth it - not because it's the only way to get new weapons and armor.

loveme4whoiam Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Exactly, brilliantly well put E D. I'll pay for something that adds real content to the game, but not something that could and should have been shipped with the original game. Now, if they'd put in this combat whilst on a horse, AND the horse armour (which would suddenly become really useful and needed, instead of an extra triviality) I'd definitely pay it. But they are limiting what the modders can do in order to generate maximum profit. Profit! Makes me want to bloody spit. Sell-outs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_lone_bard Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I'd pay 1.99 for the exporter plugin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
