NyteKitsune Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Ah, Thanks Drake, didn't know that.. Before getting Skyrim on PC I only had played it on the XBox 360, so had no idea it was always tied to STEAM for PC.. weren't they sneaky? Jerks. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drohung Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 (edited) Guys, great news! We won the battle! THEY'RE GONE! http://kotaku.com/valve-cancels-paid-mods-for-skyrim-1700526130 The best quote: "We understand our own game’s communities pretty well, but stepping into an established, years old modding community in Skyrim was probably not the right place to start iterating. We think this made us miss the mark pretty badly, even though we believe there’s a useful feature somewhere here." I'm glad these are gone, and security is no longer a concern. Mod piracy lasted less than a week, and UBR will be posted without a delay within this week. Edited April 27, 2015 by Drohung Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many modders, like Chesko and maybe even Isoku, are retiring after their mod trouble and the backlash. Also, we still have no news on SkyUI and where that's going...

mackinz92 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Chesko retired because the mod community could not be civil in its disagreement with the "paid mods" system. It is entirely the fault of the community that Chesko retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers to all who signed and cheers to them for listening!. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starfis Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Chesko retired because the mod community could not be civil in its disagreement with the "paid mods" system. It is entirely the fault of the community that Chesko retired.It is not the fault of this community. People who were most vocal and hateful throwing rocks at him were never really part of this community. Bunch of twelve year olds maybe. I hope he and others retired only for the absolutely necessary time to gain back some trust in us. And I'm really glad that this stupid thing is over, or at least over for now, because I'm sure they will try it again sooner or later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boombro Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Chesko is gone from the modding for a while, he did not retire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
