My (in-depth) opinion about the Creation Club (as a long-time mod maker)

Yeah, modding is not easy. I found that out by making a very basic mod Skyrim. TIt was not easy. It took me hours just to make the mod and most of that was unproductive as I was mostly hunting for the right stats to change. I didn't even give the option to donate either. I knew it wouldn't be worth bothering with as my mod was small and niece. Plus there was other mods like it. It just didn't change the values to what I wanted and I added an extra thing the others didn't have. But I've not updated it to SE as SE does have a mod that does it closer to what I wanted.

But I don't think it is selfless work. At least not for me I enjoy doing it. Well, I enjoy solving the problems and getting a finished product. Sure, there are frustrations but the benefits for me outweigh the negatives. Any time I enjoy something I consider it far from selfless.

So you're making baseless claims where your only evidence is, "I've been right before, therefore I am right now."

 

The problem with your guess is that Bethesda is using Creation Club to promote free mods on Bethesda.net (naming the author and the mod in the CC news), they're still promoting free mods on their social media by linking to an article THEY wrote containing links to dozens of free mods, and they are paying for a platform to host free mods.

 

I see no reason to believe they will do a 180 on this.

 

To add to that, these are all things that Bethesda only added relatively recently. Also, you don't get to be as succesful as Bethesda are if you are willing to waste money on promoting things you want to do away with. That level of stupidity is incompatible with being even mildly successful let alone so massively succesful. After all, don't forget that even articles eventually start contributing to ever rising server costs let alone hosting mods. Plus they have to pay the people who write the CC news and the mod promotion articles.

Claims? Yes. Baseless? Not at all. I know, it's a modern thing to ignore every development and predict the possible outcome. Nevertheless - it worked in the past and it's going to work in any given future. Why? Because science proves it. Oh well, I know... it's also a modern thing to deny scientific methods because of... reasons.

 

And of course we do not talk about "a 180", because right now there is only "a 90" left for them to do to be exactly there where I predict them to be.

 

Anyway, time will tell.

 

 

That is basically what has been called the problem of inductive reasoning since David Hume. Yes, we highly rely on it on a daily basis and yes, the conclusions we draw from experience may very well be highly probable. But they cannot ever justifyably be regarded as neccessarily true due to our limited experiential perspective.

 

You are right in that time will tell. You are not right in your assertion of being right this time on the basis of that you have been right in the past. This is not at all a critique of you personally. It is just an objection to your reasoning process. Granted that you have sufficient and substantial experience. Even granted you may have been correct in every single instance in any of your predictions until this very moment. You may very well be right in this instance again. But that does not guarantee that you are neccessarily right based on the conclusions of your past experience.
