TeamBacon Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I am not a mod author but I decided to boycott Bethesda's mod site quite a while back, they make decent games that benefit greatly from their ease of mod-ability. But they do not understand modding and in their ignorance have damaged it multiple times; I blame the incessant "moar profits!" nonsense as much as I do their lack of understanding. Frankly, Bethesda games without modding are not going to sell particularly well, too many bugs, not as much creativity. Skyrim is still one of the crashiest games I have ever owned. I'm glad we have people like you to tell the game developers how to make videogames. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwhenry16 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Why are you uploading your mods to Beth.net? The purpose of that site is to take control of the modding scene away from the Nexus. To legally own your hard work and make a profit from it while not giving you a cent. You have to ask yourselves, modding has been fine on the Nexus for years. It didn't need any 'help' or change. Beth.net doesn't need to exist. So why have they gone to the trouble? Why would you trust them after what they did with the paid modding fiasco? They'll surely try again, mark my words.So boycott Bethesda.net! If none of you play ball, they have no game! Stop handing over your power. I never understood why people do this. If it isn't broken then it doesn't need fixing, yet when someone tries to change things, everyone jumps on board even though it doesn't have their best interests at heart. It's like you all have the mentality that this sort of thing is inevitable. It's only inevitable because you let it be!" The purpose of that site is to take control of the modding scene away from the Nexus.." An assertion is not fact, it's personal speculation. It's quite probable, readily ascertainable, that it is capitalism at work. If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then the B net proves how good Nexus really is, and hence the authors behind the mods. Boycotts don't work. Not enough folks will participate, and it takes a serious tipping point of lost customers versus shop gain to make even a dent. In the long run, it is dollars, value, and efficacy that wins the day. It is possible B net will try and use what they see Nexus doing right, having failed miserably so far, but a boycott? I don't think so. "It's like you all have the mentality that this sort of thing is inevitable." Seriously? Is this like the liberal "your on the wrong side of history "thing? Us against you, since your right and if we disagree or don't follow a different master we are them? Make arguments with facts and points, not emotional tugs and insults.

I claimed Bethesda didn't understand modding, he misrepresented my claim into Bethesda doesn't know how to make games. An impotent rebuttal made meaningless by the misrepresentation, which you two then swallowed hook line and sinker due to your superiority. Thank you both as well for maintaining your superiority so clearly. Perhaps now you also understand me or maybe not, I am done with you both.

Arthmoor Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Pretty sure they responded the way they did because you said you're not a modder and then proceeded to assert that Bethesda knows nothing about modding and that they're ignorant. Which frankly doesn't work in your favor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamBacon Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Simple fact - Bethesda knows more about mods than someone who doesn't make mods. People who have never made a mod or worked as part of a team building a videogame should stop acting like they know everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
