Chickenudoom Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I've been wondering: Since Steam offers a 24-hour refund policy with paid mods, what's to stop someone from purchasing a mod, copying the files, and then getting their money back within 24 hours? Hypothetically speaking, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally only buy things off steam with steam credit... It's easier then buying things individually. I think most people who use steam as their main source of gaming would agree. So yeah, it is still getting your money back if you use steam... which almost every person who plays skyrim on the PC should. I agree, he brings up a good point, as that's what I've always done to workshop mods. Install them, copy them, then uninstall them so I can install them later manually on my terms.

AmericanJackal Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Steam could conceivably be ugly about that; it is, after all, a DRM solution. Skyrim may be difficult to work out, but future games may require mods to generate some sort of ID or license bit that Steam could check against your account before allowing you to play with it. (The thought makes me shudder -- it would deal a huge blow against free-sharing of mods like here on Nexus). You will also not have access to updates. That could be a problem on new games that frequently pump out major bug fixes and patches. The first year of every Bethesda game is always a development race against the official patches and what they break in your mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
