CK need steam to work and only available through steam

Can anyone please explain...

a free sharing mod tool used to freely share art and creativity is ultimately owned and only available through the monopolistic demographic ad seller

 

the ck itself is not even a sold item as in none of us actually bought it so there was no agreement made on that end

what is the reasoning behind not being to simply have multiple locations to download it from and not needing steam to run in the background to use it.

more access to ck and ability to mod while offline well is better for modding and gives greater avenue to mods.

I myself have an art computer that does not touch the network and will never touch the internet but I cant create art in skyrim on it sadly nor can I move the files over to the workstation and have it run without being online.

this is freakin odd. I mean the game itself cost money... the tools actually make money for both steam and bethesda if more people have them and are working with them and sharing them.

this whole scenario limits access and forces traffic through one point. well I guess its one way to sell stuff by force... shrug

 

I am not sure we can get any more anti mod than this at this point. well I take that back when they start leasing the mod tools yah...

I think it's time to stop posting. The only reason you would really oppose this is a.) An idiot that thinks there is something wrong with Steam (It's time to put away your tin foil hats too), or b.) A Pirate.

 

I will pick answer number two and yes, that's my final answer.

 

Yes that was your final answer. Goodbye

so... Skyrim depends on Steam, why should the CK do otherwise? Especially when it's so closely tied to the Steam Workshop?

and... Steam still has a fully functional offline-mode.

 

You make it sound so true!

 

It is. You install the game, click file, go offline. Restart, come back offline, play it. Not difficult. Stop trolling.

Too hard for some to comprehend.

well, it is working just fine for me... what's your issue?

Are you serious? I'm an idiot and/or a pirate because I don't like Steam?

 

How about this: I live in an area that is, at minimum, 40km out of any city. We don't have access to the internet, not even dial-up. The only internet I have (and how I'm writing this) is at the local library which is in the city 40km away. Naturally, it's filters block ports necessary for Steam to run, therefore I can't run Steam.

 

Even when I did have internet access I hated Steam. I used it because boycotts do absolutely nothing (not enough people do it for long enough) and so I figured I'd just put up with it to play the games I love. Frankly though, I shouldn't have to, and I know a lot of people who think the same.

 

To play Steam games (which is pretty much any game these day, and if not, most games require some bullcrap internet activation to install) I have to go out of my way and look for a cracked exe that lets me play the game without Steam. Not all games have these cracks, and not all cracks work. I also can't download patches or tools like the Creation Kit, since they require Steam to download.

 

And I'm stupid because of this? Hell, go ahead and call me a pirate, I don't care. I have the receipts proving I own the games.

 

Even when I move next month and have internet access I'll still hate Steam. Yay, I'll be able to use it, but I'd sincerely rather not. There is no such thing as true choice in this industry anymore, you either use Steam or you don't play the game (legally, in any case).

Do this look like a lie?

Of course, you probably cannot publish mods to steam if you're offline. Everything else works.
