So, When Creation Club Gets Around to Skyrim...

[nightscrawl]

The thing I don't understand is how people defend this for console gamers yet when exclusives get released for consoles the same people say, "Shoulda bought a console". :/

 

People aren't necessarily defending it for console players. You think the console players want to spend more money, or have their system memory hogged by mods they won't purchase and use? (While they removed this for PC, I believe this is still the case for console.)

 

Currently, the PS4 players are in the worst position for modding because of restrictions imposed by Sony and not anything to do with Bethesda or Zenimax. In light of that, I don't begrudge PS4 players spending money on these mods because they have no alternative. But it is totally unfair that those players will have to pay money for more mod variety when their Xbone counterparts can enjoy free mods, including ones like Frostfall (CC Survival Mode) and Campfire. That unfairness lies at the feet of Sony, not anyone else.

 

But, in the end, while it will benefit PS4 players the most, Bethesda can't rely solely on them for the CC to make money and be a profitable investment. In order for that to happen, they MUST appeal to all of their players, even those who have access to free mods, and make CC products that will be unique and competitive. So far they haven't done that.

 

I'd say that the most interesting CC bit for Skyrim are those fancy new arrows (and I don't even play an archer!). They need to do more and better.
