Go and ask both Unoctium & DogtoothCG (the authors of the Chinese Stealth Suit and Hellfire Power Armor mods that you refer to) if they themselves believe that Bethesda 'stole' their mod and then reuploaded it to CC.

 

The answer you'll get is "no", but if you don't believe me go ahead and ask them directly.

Talk about delusional? In our country one does not become employed simply by buying a video game. Regardless of what is written in the game's EULA.

Excuse me, but what? WHAT? Where did anyone say we all became employees simply by buying a copy of Skyrim or Fallout 4?

 

Do you even know what you're arguing anymore?

 

Also delusional is Bethesda's insistence that any substantive difference exists between paid mods and "creation club content". It's corporate greed taken to the next level, practical theft and virtual enslavement.

Well I have news. Paid mods is in fact a distinct and separate thing from what the Creation Club is doing. In paid mods, anyone and their dog could have uploaded something to steam without curation, QA, approval, or whatever (within reason and legal limitations). Copyright was retained by the mod author.

 

Creation Club is actual DLC, owned by Bethesda, because it was created as a Work For Hire. Which I can tell you haven't bothered to look up at all. It's handled as a standard industry contract for developing the content. No different from about half of how the entire IT industry works. So if Bethesda is somehow engaged in slavery, then so is half the IT industry - including Google and Microsoft. You're letting your ideological extremism taint your judgment here.

 

 

 

In our country private companies are required to hire people for employment under a signed or verbal employment contract. Not video game EULAs.

And this is precisely what the Creation Club is doing. Signed contracts with terms spelled out and milestones agreed on. How much more clear does it need to get?
