That whole idea is messed up as it will end with people just not buying Bethesda games to begin with. Not worth the risk. Edited by sunshinenbrick

SKYRIM has DRM, the DLC do NOT.

Once you bought a DLC, you can copy it, give it to a friend and he can play it too.
You can't do the same with Skyrim.

Bethesda didn't lie there for a change.

Sorry xbi on this one you dont know how the world works . Those million dollar lawyers these two companies have did think about this , thats why they had the modders contractually obligated to be the ones to be providing support for the mods and not themselves . That way if something goes wrong there would be only the modder that a plaintiff could go after . Your right they did think about this and they covered their own asses but not the modders . Thats how the world works.


She already got it handed to her in the thread you're pulling this post from...C'mon man...

In all honesty, no one I going to pursue legal action of any kind, over a CTD. This aspect of the debate, is pointless. Tell me you would invest your time/resource to sue me over a CTD (which is the true worest case scenario btw, concerning incompatibility) that was PROVEN (Who says it was my mod that was the incompatible one and not the other one) to be cause by my $5 hose armor.
I mean really, the week before this started the Mortal Kombat X issue popped up, did we see courts filling to sue NR studios or Valve?

First of all i'd like to thank all modders who made good mods and are still making them. You're the best :)

Second i'd like to thank the people who helped to take down Valve's paywall and all the hatred it brought with it.

Third i think i'll be donating to modders much more than i did before. That was a good lesson for me.

 

p.s. please don't get me wrong - i'll always donate but will never pay for mods whatever happens.

If its the kind of bottomless pit economics that one is after, eat your heart out. Not everyone's cup of tea though.

Dear Dark0ne, modders, and community.

 

I just want to say "thank you" for all the hard work you put into making great games even better over the years. Personally, I have made numerous small mods, but never released anything and mostly kept stuff for my own use. I have provided feedback for mods I love over the years, and endorsed mods now and then, but not enough as I could have. The negative backlash seen in recent events has shown me, above all, that it's easy to forget how much of an impact the slightest positive spark could have in a sea of negativity. I've been neutral when it came to paid mods, as I saw positive and negative sides to the issue. I even satisfied my curiousity to test if running paid mods would really require you to only launch the game through Steam, so, I spent money on one mod. It would be hypocritical therefore to bash either side, nor do I think that is a proper reaction.

 

After all these years, I've started to take our community and our mods for granted. No more. I've taken the time to catch up with my (substantial) list of mods I had yet to endorse. Money has been tight for years, but I have also bought a 12 month premium membership. Not a lifetime one, as servers still need maintenance next year.

 

Apologies for my long rant. Let me just say to the Nexus team, to every modder, and to every civil person contributing to this community: Thank you for everything.

yes the most valued lesson that is to be taught here is "not take community for granted"

Not over a CTD, over false advertising. You as an author would be legally obliged to find out all incompatibilities, if you fail to do so and thereby fail to deliever the product I ordered I have every right to sue you.

Of course I wouldn't sue over stuff like this, I'd demand a refund immediately. Someone with more money could sue you. And then you're having a serious problem
