skubblebubble Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Subtle, Darren. Then again, I expected nothing less from you.Subtly is my middle name, right after "NUKE THEM ALL" and "WATCH THE WORLD BURN IN RIGHTEOUS FIRE" Let's just say I've worked someplaces where they decided to truncate my nametag No no, it goes "Nuke them till they glow, then shoot them in the dark!"(starts with "Fire Mission: Nuclear. Morons in the open, over.")heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunslinger6792 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 I still say we need a DDOS on the site until they sort it out.The last thing we need to do is take hostile actions and have the powers that be ignore us completly and or take legal action against the nexus because talk of illegal actions started here. Trust me if that's the road you go down Robin will be served with legal crap so fast our collective heads will spin. There's no way in hell the nexus could take on zenimax lawyers and win.

I am overly confident they could 100% win, if bethesda took legal action against nexus that was unjustified I would throw as much money as I could to a legal fund if they needed it, I hate that pre-conceived notion that just because they are good lawyers they will always win bad cases, or because they have a bully pulpit of money they would win, welcome to america people.

Chessboard Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) One of the core problems is that the idea that mods should be "free to all" has been a belief of a good portion of the community going back before the "Paid Mod Fiasco" on steam over a year ago. Now that many of the less demanding mods can be run on consoles those people are popping back up and thinking its either funny to maliciously port mods or a new battlefield for mods should be "free to all" now including console users. Partly because PC and console are not pure groups as many people use both through their lives as hardware economics and systems ages and they switch about, that mentality was already seeded into the console community which never gets anything for free (unless there's a back end subscription attached).While many people have the maturity and manners to respect mod creators work by respecting their choices, there are to many who just want stuff for free. They weren't mad at Steam or Bethesda for taking a cut of the money during the PM fiasco, they were mad at having to pay for what they could previously get for nothing. Many of them went further than simply sending angry emails or boycotting those mods...they were actively stealing them and posting them on torrent sites. My best proof of this mentality...how many people on this site who download mods also have a premium membership. I bet its less than 10%. Bethesda has a long way to go with improvements needed to their mod site and not just in policing stolen mods but the rot of mod entitlement did not start there. And just cutting off the arm or leg of consoles mods will not stop it because its a disease that is all through the body. edited for spelling errors.

Trust me if that's the road you go down Robin will be served with legal crap so fast our collective heads will spin. There's no way in hell the nexus could take on zenimax lawyers and win. Plenty of large companies have lost suits to smaller legal teams. Its hardly unheard of. That being said it probably wouldn't be the best idea to try and bring down beth's site. Or, if you are, make sure to talk about it somewhere else but here. Like seriously never mention doing it on nexus again, that really isnt a smart idea. However if legal action were to be pursued by beth over it I have a hard time seeing how beth would even rationalize the situation to a judge let alone win that case. They would essentially have to admit to the fact that they were hosting what could be construed as stolen content on their site which a court would look at incredibly unfavorably especially if beth takes no action to curb the thefts. Its more likely that beth would just get pissed off and ignore the thefts rather than pursue any legal action over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
