yeah!

obviously

Why not?

Modding is the best thing to happen in video games ever up there with 3d visuals, online play, and indie games

Bethesda is selling third party mods

Skyrim is a perfect example for that. Look up “Skyrim Ultima” that modded version looks like a completely different game.

Which is actually a reason for Developer to dislike them. As unless it's a live service game, they want you to buy the new one not play the old one.

Which is why Nintendo is so hard against them.

​@@LukieLuke5 True The Call Of Duty series for example releases a new game every year since 2003 and They want You to always buy the newest game every year and thats why We haven't have mod support since Call Of Duty 12 Black Ops 3 from 2015 and prior to Black Ops 3 the last game to have mod support was Call Of Duty 7 Black Ops 1 from 2010 No wonder Black Ops 3 is still the 2nd most played Call Of Duty game on Steam (As of the time of this comment) with 8,596 players playing right now

True

Agreed as a kid I watched a lot of modded minecraft

Yea games like Minecraft would probably died out years ago if it wasn’t for mods

And Bethesda would die out after releasing Oblivion.

Then imagine steam

Modded Minecraft videos is the reason I bought the game as a kid. Then I realized the Java mods I’m watching on KZfaq doesn’t work on bedrock edition.

FACTS! Also agreed, Fuck 'em. If by some miracle of God they actually manage to outlaw modding in the US, I don't care, I'll still mod my games.

@@megaman37456 Wouldn't call that a miracle of God, that scenario would be a tragedy.

@@sarahsturgill9262 I say a Miracle of God because only Gods power could make that 0% scenario happen.

@@megaman37456 It would be impossible to ban modding. Even today, they don't actively ban modding. What happens is the ban the DISTRIBUTION of mods. My you can still CREATE mods. Just can't GIVE that mod to others. That is how they get around the law. That is why you see a lot of stuff like Nexus Collections not seen anywhere else, and why people can't just download a collection of mods, make it work, then just copy and transfer the mod folder. Cause it's illegal. But they CAN tell you the list of mods, where to download them, and how to install them. Ultimately YOU own your PC, it is YOUR property, and you can do WHATEVER YOU WANT with that Property, and all files on that property. You can mod, change, and do anything you want to any game on that PC. The problem comes in, when you A, Access someone else's Server (Some hacks tho not all), or B, Distribute those mods/hacks. Case in point. You have the RIGHT to borrow a movie, Rip the movie, then give the original copy back and keep the rip version for yourself. As long as you, and only you, see and access it, and you don't give it away, you are legally fine. As you had ownership of the product for a time, and can do anything you want what your property. So modding will never be outright banned. No, the HOSTING and DISTRIBUTION of mods will be attacked and destroyed instead.

Just like how Disney got famous from making adaptations of public domain works, then twice successfully lobbied Congress to extend the copyright law just to try to keep their own works out of the public domain.

If everyone would cheat noone would care

so true

Its because they dont want the game to better on its own they want the game to die so that youll buy the next one

COPYRIGHT STILL THERE, BUT HAVE NO ACTUAL POWER

Honestly with the way humans are exploiting people and individual replacing everyone else using an AI to create what suits them should be a right for every individual. With the con of telling me that I am purchasing an object and then turning around and saying oh actually it was a license and we can take it whenever we feel like it for whatever reason we feel like it even if we charge you a hundred bucks for it. And the fact that severely disabled people need AI to be able to build stuff and enjoy their own creativity, and Elon musk is literally putting the ability to create things and control things with your mind in special privileged individuals while other individuals don't even have the privilege to use their voice to have chat GTP to do something for them because of abusers lying about how a I even learns and functions. Copyright protections shouldn't exist in the first place people should be free to express what they like and not associate with people trying to exploit them

You should have been concerned about copyright long ago.

Minecraft also lets you play any old version you like., so your favourite old mods are still avaliable

@@thesenate1844except for the mobile version lol

The game literally unplayable without optifine mod for people that has shit pc , just like me in 2016.

@@mentosvagabond or Sodium which ya right lmao

It isn't jealousy it's a desire to control

It would probably lead to more fun games if modders could easily sell downloads without valve/patreon demanding their overpriced fees

@@dennisthemenace567 or the opposite, of everything costing money.

valve gets way too much credit for how many lame things theyve released onto the world "loot boxes and battlepasses"

Wasn't that Bethesda? I'm pretty sure Valve didn't do that on their own, they are quite content at negotiating with workshop creators to get their stuff into dota, csgo and tf2

@@SolantisA no, bethesda actually did it

Good ol corporate-corrupted courts.

SLAPP Suits have no place in corporate litigation

There needs to be a modder protection fund so that the expense is covered for them.

Well this might be the case in the circumstances where a person does not use AI in order to assist in creating a mod for themselves but if you are severely disabled to the point you need to use technology to create things you don't even have a right to copyright protection or fair use because you are not privileged to have that functioning body parts that can make things on your own

That's exactly what these corpos count on

ohhh.....that makes sense.

its confirmed to be nintendo sadly

Because the devs didn’t bother investigating.

So the whole Destiny copyright thing again cause a guy was mad and wanted to cause damage to both the community and the company

Nope, person in question was linked to a previous instance of someone who thought it was a troll and ignored and nearly got nuked for it.

Heck we would even say we would support multiplayer in that context because you could simply just set it up to where everyone could cheat and they would have to try to win by out cheating one another it would be a competition like that. So you would have a section where the your competition was that you tried to out cheat the other person and then you would have the normal competition and you would have different cues for whatever you want it. We basically believe that you should be in the ability to engage with those that you wish to engage with so if you like to cheat using the game then others like to do so as well get the cheaters together. Under no circumstances do we believe that there should be a situation in which individuals should be allowed to tell people that they cannot cheat in a Minecraft section where the owner of the world is cheating

As for the copyright laws claim we also agree with that one there are circumstances where they trademark and copyright things only to let them sit in a vault and die it's disgusting

Heck I'm more likely to think less of your brand IF you take down the mod that uses your IP! 😆

Bars 🔥🔥🔥

Let's not forget that in the early days of FPS games, basically every successful game used the Doom engine or an engine heavily inspired by it. The famous "Doom clones" of the 90s such as Heretic and its sequel Hexen, Sigil, Rise of The Triad, Dark Forces, and Duke Nukem 3D are all effectively Doom mods. Heck the first 3 were made by _id_ and use the Doom engine. Edit: Oh wait, Rise of the Triad was on the Wolfenstein 3D engine my mistake.

Furthermore if they're just having problems with it not being family friendly because adults are playing the game. Just make separate systems one that adults cannot play and the other that kids cannot play that cannot interact with one another. This would stop kids from having access to adult content and adults. As well as stopping adults from having access to children which would lower the amount of online grooming that was happening.

​@@bronyinsticks I can't think of an age verification system, though, that wouldn't either be easily exploited or very intrusive, especially when you're talking about kids.

@@bronyinsticks No actual reliable age verification besides legal ID verification exists that would actually properly protect those who aren't old enough. Nor would it be possible to separate them from those who are.

@FelipeKana1 That's an assumption, and a bad one. All of the most popular modding sites filter out sensitive results by default, making it harder accidentally find such content. Some even ban it altogether. As well as this, many companies, such as Mojang, intentionally ban and go after content that violates their values and vision for their game, such as not safe for work mods. This is not new, and it is not controversial. It's how it should be.

@@bronyinstickswe do have access to parental controls though. Parents just refuse to use them because they don’t give a shit

True answer: "Modding Won't Be Going Anywhere, But These Are In Danger"

And they're *_STILL_* carrying Bethesda in many areas from what I hear in many circles

One term comes to mind. Fan patch. When modders and players take in their hand to fix bugs and issues with a game

He also released starfield hoping modders fix his game. Modders tried and said it wasn't worth lol

@@nocaptcha8110 without the official mod tools it can't, can't expect them to do much beyond basic things when it's a whole new version of the Creation Engine, even if some things are the same the inner workings are completely different. With Skyrim and Fallout 4 the mod authors had years worth of experience in the engine because of games like New Vegas and Oblivion and the amount of available guides for those games being the stepping stones for mod authors of newer games to learn from, Starfield everyone is pretty much starting from scratch

@lucas182512 You say that and then they updated fallout 4, breaking every mod right when the big mod Fallout London was gonna release. Of course they wanna may sure you are using their PAID MODS and not NEXUS!

@@maxmikester8185 Which is why i said they could do better with communication. Echoing the words of the fallout london project lead. That said, people really overreact when bethesda releases patches "breaking their mods". If you mod bethesda games, you should know that running the game using the script extender will bypass any steam update. And even if steam updated your game, the first mod that gets released after those mod-breaking updates are version downgraders. You cant even say "but if I downgrade, i wont be able to install the newest mods", because the overwhelming majority of new mods maintain support for the the older, popular game version. This is true in both fallout 4 (v 1.10.163) and skyrim se (v 1.5.97). Personally, I would have simply released London for 1.10.163. People can simply downgrade.

My problem with bethesda patches for old games like skyrim and fallout 4, is that they dont add anything. they are crap patches. the newest fallout 4 "next gen" patch makes a difference in consoles. it does nothing on pc. it just "breaks" mods. whatever, downgrade or skip the update (what I did)

I think they did get into trouble for a bit there. These corporations are bitches in heat

the problem for the publisher is that people wont buy the sequel

Dont forget to check for malware. It happens

Yep, you nailed it. If people can make their own content, then who will buy their own overpriced skin packs and minor updates hidden behind a dlc?.

Finally, a balanced take. Most people's kneejerk reaction to that kind of thing is emotionally charged and not well thought through (usually completely tossing aside legitimate criticism and concerns). There's always two sides to every problem.

As cool as it sounds to say that, there's almost certainly a good number of exceptions where that hasn't held true.

Strong disagree with 1. There's been enough times where people went from "exaggerated" threats online to active doxxing, sending questionable packages, or smashing people's windows that I think not only does it deserve mention, but the people responsible for making the threats should be heavily scrutinized by their community. And if the overall community sentiment towards threats against people who make the game one is modding is "eh, just ignore it" then people shouldn't be surprised when devs start actively shutting down communications with their community.

@@AnnCatsanndra You're wrong. 99.99% of threats made online are nonsense. You know this and I know this. If you think a threat is credible call the cops. Do you know what happens when you call the cops? They tell you not to talk about it. aka anyone complaining about it does not feel threatened.

your 3 is wrong my free mods did get taken down by nintendo , even the gmod mods in steam workshop are being taken down

​@DeathClawDC wait even other mods that aren't Nintendo are getting taken down including original mods that don't have a known ip in it
