Wrong, that means that you'll have a set ammount of time to develop your mod, fail, and they'll put the blame on you and then proceed to sue you

Now I'm incredibly skeptical of this system myself.

But that's just ridiculous.

Bethesda doesn't even quality control their main Elder Scrolls titles and somehow you expect them to enforce it in their paid mods?

Exactly...

Why not? you agreed to made a mod for them in, lets say, 1 week, and you get your money, that legally binds you to a contract with them for a service wich, if you dont make in said week, would be failing to provide them the service that you were hired for

Then that's your fault? For agreeing to nonsense in a legally binding contract.

I mean if you agree to legally binding anything you shouldn't exactly be retarded about it.

Honestly it all looks like bethesda wants to go the same road some japanese games went and we will end up with DLC like "Neko maid outfit - 5.99 euro".

Its clear they want to push in direction of less content for more money.

how is it less content? they make game person makes mod for that game person who made mod gets paid.

QA'd by Bethesda

I literally LOLed when I read that.

Not how that would happen, at all. Likely, if Bethesda would set a ridiculous deadline like that (which they wouldn't) and it wasn't met, the worst that would happen is that the DLC would be in a shoddy state and wouldn't be released.

[Leyre]

and wouldn't be released.

hahahahahahahahahahaha, remember the stupid and game breaking bugs skyrim had at release?

Here someone much more well-spoken, a guy VERY well known and loved in the WoW community I might add, explains what this means:

Yeah, Oxhorn is always calm and collected when it comes to drama such as this. I love watching his lore videos.
However, I don't think it's going to do much. The internet rather prefers to overreact and throw hissy fits instead of choosing to become informed.

Here's a great video by Gopher explaining it, he's a well-known modder and Youtuber making videos of mods.

If the stuff you buy is relative to the impact it has to the game, I really don't care. IE: Huge questing zone added, $20. Golden crab, $1. The latter is obviously much more greedy but the former is totally fine with me. The pricing is what concerns me with this system not the actual system itself -- considering mods will continue to exist and this is just an official way to add more content to the game and justify the means way past the games creation date.

[barackopala]

Hooray for modpiracy i guess?

Crabs might be a quest mod. Mad blacksmith has been trying to build an army of mudcrabs. You hunt him through one or two radiant dungeons, unlock Dwemer Mudcrab Shell armor for your character.

If it means that big mods like the oblivion and morrowind mods come out faster and better, it would be worth it as long as they don't cost too much. I would also pay for a mod that puts class and weapon abilities in skyrim like elder scrolls online.

Yeah, things that actually add to the gameplay but have the relative cost and enjoyment are totally fine to me. But, buying a cheap quest to play is pretty 'eh' to me. Rather wait for a bundle where I'd spend, say, $10 for about 4 - 8 hours of questing instead of many different separate purchases.

its new originally mods only.

[Halicia]

I think having an open license where anyone can charge whatever they like for mods just leads to flooding the market with poorly thoughtout mods trying for a quick buck, and ends up "hiding" the good mods from the view of the average consumer.

Having some basic Quality Assurance and licensing by the original property holder makes sense, and leads to more committed developers releasing quality mods.

And hopefully, if both the owner and the mod developers both get a slice of the cake... it creates an incentive for the original developers to provide better support for the mod developers.

[Selah]

FUCK SKYRIM, seriously. I'm fucking tired of that game being remade and remade and remade and remade. I want a new Elder Scrolls game, it's been too long. In the time since Skyrim I have planned a wedding, had a wedding, changed jobs 3 times, had a kid, and my kid is now old enough to play Skyrim. FUCK SKYRIM.

[Arrashi]

how is it less content? they make game person makes mod for that game person who made mod gets paid.

"less content for more money". They want to release assload of small DLCs with no content at all so they can charge for each of them. And boom, sex items ends up costing as much as expansion would do.
