Hexxagone Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 What has Bethesda done to fix it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthmoor Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 It's now required that your Steam account and your Bethesda.net account be linked together before you can upload to the service. If you get caught pirating stuff, they'll ban the Steam account, which invalidates the link, and then you can't upload anymore. Of course, if you happen to be filthy rich and can afford to just buy another copy of the game you could go do it again, but they'll just ban your whole account instead and make you not only by yet another copy of the game but also register another new account on their side. Nobody in their right mind is going to go to that much trouble to pirate mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthmoor Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Those people are also clearly not in their right minds. Spending that much money to steal mods is just dumb but Bethesda and Valve will both happily keep taking the extra money for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSpaceShuttleChallenger Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Considering that IP theft happens in every single community and will continue to happen to some extent or another no matter what anyone does to try and stop it.... and considering that Bethesda and Nexus already do far more to protect us from IP theft than almost any other community... even though the very existence of our community is based on the appropriation Bethesda's IP... and even though not a single one of us actually depends on IP rights to mods for anything more than emotional satisfaction... Yeah. Yeah I definitely prefer that Bethesa does not waste its money on "community relations" with people who will never be happy, and instead reinvested the money in creating better games for those of us that they can realistically hope to satisfy.

Kiddie rugrat :pirate: spending their FREE parent welfare allowance $$$ for the FREE ability to upload FREE software to a FREE server exceeds the oxymoron of iced tea. :pinch: But then again, I live in a free country where many of my free countrymen still fail to realize their freedom isn't exactly free.... :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moksha8088 Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Are executions an effective deterrent for mod stealing? For a definitive answer, we turn to sociologist Dr. Shezrie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnSaGX_eY5U Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
