Why wouldnt you be, their latest releases are Starfield and Fallout 76, they are fully committed to cash cows instead of good games.

It's taking them years and years to make progressively worse games.

You should be, it will be another shameless rip off. Half baked game at full price.

You paid for Todd Howard's coffee that day

I honestly think this whole micro transaction arms race is just a race to see who can get you to pay to be able to pause first

Yes...yes it it Tim.

Ooooohhhhhhhh…. Thanks mate. Never clicked for me either.

Those are the mods

they already do that though i dont think they want modders to MAKE their games. im sure they rely on them to fix them though.

Yep, it feels like they want to go the Roblox/ Fortnite route. Make a game or engine and have modders make games and sell them

Fr bro

Cheaper than a developer. The modern work is free until they sell it. Even then, Bethesda can only profit.

@@headshot531 nobody is modding starfailure

Modders getting paid: 👎 Modding is a collaborative effort, not a competitive one for the sake of profit THE MOMENT you introduce money, you destroy what modding is

​@@randomthings1293It's still collaborative effort, the exact same thing that has always been around, is still around.. Literally nothing has been taken away. The fact that creators now have an OPTION to potentially do MORE modding because people have an OPTION to help FUND what they do - is absurd to attempt to frame "destroying modding" People who are so self-entitled that they can't see any kind of reason whatsoever to actually support mod creators, are not exactly the best kind of person to dump on this. You know how some modders sometimes just disappears from the scene and may not be back for years, because they have other things they HAVE to do instead of slaving for ungrateful, self-entitled gamers? Well, when enough people support their work, then maybe they do not HAVE to stop modding.. And as always, the payed stuff is usually available for free in one form or another sooner or later anyway - and sometimes better, because people have had more time to work on it. I'm not egen sure how to put myself in the mindset of a person who wants things for free, speak as if they care about the community - but become all toxic when there's a completely voluntary option to actually support hard working members of that community, in ways that goes beyond empty words.

@@randomthings1293I disagree. The reason mods are free are not because the mod devs hate money, it’s because of copyrights. If modding was something that devs could make money from, the mod quality would be incredible. Being able to fund dev teams for DLC level mods would create some amazing additions to eh games.

​@@Powderlover1 "Tell me you never modded a game in your life without telling me that you've never modded a game in your life" You: (Mod quality is already incredible, a quick look at the nexus will tell you that immediately. And why is that? it's because everyone's work is built upon the collective work of thousands of other people. Restricting access to mods through paywalls will limit the number of people who use mods, thus limiting the number of people who create mods, thus limiting the amount of creativity and resources available for modding. Also, mod authors would inevitably sell faulty products, since they would never be able to guarantee that their mod does not break some other mods, since they can't use those other mods' resources, because they're behind a paywall and their authors are literally competitors. Side note, I've never said that mod devs "hate money", that's a ridicoulous thing to say and it's also totally irrelevant in respect to my argument).

@@randomthings1293 literally every game I play is modded at this point. Mod devs are often putting out better content than the actual devs. That’s why I want them to be rewarded for their work. You not being able to afford the mods you enjoy, does not mean those developers (who put blood, sweat, tears, and more importantly time and money into their mods) should not be payed for their work. Your points are easily addressable: 1. I don’t see it limiting it much, free mods will absolutely still exist, but a $.50 buy button next to a mod on workshop (or nexus for ya) is an option the people who made it should have. 2. The idea that making money will somehow decrease the number of mod devs is patently ridiculous and does not deserve a serious response. Being able to hire devs would result in more large scale projects being successful, think dayZ, or fallout London finally actually releasing. 3. The price of the game is a limiter as well, work costs money, stop expecting free labor. 4. People sell faulty products all the time. Half of the AAA games released today are released as faulty products; should games all be free because some suck? I’d be all for a refund policy, but that’d be up to the platform and payment system. Also, weird that you went with Nexus rather than workshop. But I’ve actually been modding my games since before the easy tools and mod folders. Also, also you’re supposed to put the “You:” before the quote. Currently your comment is structured as if I’m saying the nonsense about not wanting to pay for things I enjoy.

This was actually a nice wholesome comment to read.

Wholesome

It's not surprising as much as it is frustrating. Besides it's not just consumers being ripped off but modders as well.

@@65firered thing is, this isn't even the first time they've tried paid mods. They did it to both Skyrim and Fallout 4 a few years back and got such harsh backlash from it that they very quickly dropped it. This isn't new, it's part of a pattern. I only brought up the horse armor thing because people actually remember that one.

@@jeezycreezy4220 I know, it's a problem every time but Bethesda is trying the Ubisoft approach, "keep trying until apathy sets in, then push beyond the boundary".

happy playing with dlc's

Yeah on you hand I get why people are upset that they can get mods but have to pay for it first on the other hand the base game of Starfield doesn't put a gun to your head and force you to buy anything if a player does buy something from the club it's all on the player they chose to cough up the cash but this KZfaqr is clearly biased and forgot that point I don't want my first Bethesda game experience to be ruined by a bunch of cry babies

That's what happens when ponies trash the game so no one plays it, prices go up for the small community. Meanwhile you're forgetting it's not only for ship parts. That download includes furniture - some real fancy stuff.

@@UmmerFarooq-wx4yo Still... all the other habs in the game are furnished and have full sets. Definitely not worth anywhere near 1000 credits...maybe 200-300 max.

Pretty ballsy from that guy, hijacking the name of one of the most important Bethesda games mod series.

i really wish there was more transparency cuz im dying to know whats wrong at BGS. my guess is management among other things. definitely makes me worried for TES 6

​@@headshot531It always comes back to poor leadership.

BGS games in my mind are best described as adventure, simulation sandboxes with RPG elements layered on top. What we're seeing is more and more of the RPG, tailored content being removed in favor of the sandbox getting tools and telling the community "just imagine what you guys and gals can build here!" While I do like being able to mod these games and add to them, when the base game is lacking, it still shows, no matter how many mods you add.

There’s literally employees of Bethesda who said Lord Todd is a helicopter manager that filters the entire gameplay aspects of Starfield, like the aesthetic.

Todd and his Ego

Exactly why I won't let a few whiners who clearly don't understand that you are not forced to buy anything to play Starfield if you still want a sniper rifle that can one or two shot enemies go with that hard target put skills in sniper cert, ballistic cert, critical strike thing cert concealment as well for that 5 times concealment ranged damage bonus

He likely hates Starfield from launch figured it would be dead in the 8 months like everyone said it would be got more pissed that it didn't , and now thinks Starfield wants to scam everyone but forgot one major thing YOU aren't forced to download anything to have fun and play the game Bethesda doesn't care if you get all the achievements if you want a million credits off the bat go for it admin commands are easy to use if you want a mod that gives infinite everything might I suggest looking in the category called CHEATS haha

Bethesda just wants players to have fun yet lots of players are doing their hardest to ruin it for everyone else😂😂

Flash backs: £5.75 phial of fantasia (sex change in ffxiv - $10 if you're 🇺🇸)

Sadly not even vehicles will fix the core issues this game has

@@MumboJumboZXC I am not saying they will but would be funny to go flying. Like the swing glitch in GTA 4.

Likely will do some flying if on a low gravity world or moons

Probably because they would never sell 7 times as many even if they lowered the price to $1...It's easier for them to milk the whales than to sell 7 times as many...Plus they would be paying 7 times the amount in transaction fees.
