It has been a heavy debate through ages, and right now both sides hold equal ground. Modding is an idea that holds a strong, Free, and maybe that's a bias? But then modders getting paid, that's a doozy as well, I personally believe they should if they feel it's warranted. It's hard for me, cause modding isn't this new idea, My roots of modding go all the way back to the original DOOM. They do own IP of this content, so they have the "right", at least legally. I mean I do understand their concept and their desire, justification, ehhh. But at the same time, I am torn about this, I do not know which way I lean. It is a way to bring a so called DRM if you will, to the modding scene, all the while making bank. Microsoft hasn't given one **** about all the people against their controlled modding scene. This fails if they do not get enough people join the "Club". And I really do not see Bethesda backing down unless modders boycott it. I honestly do not believe this will fail. Those people would be mostly oblivious to the free alternative that exists mostly and more abundantly on the PC. Parents who work all day and probably only play games on their phones tablets and whatnot and perhaps occasionally a game console. My guess is that this affecting the ignorant, i.e parents who (for all and any reasons I won't get into) buy or allow their children to buy. But it hasn't, there are plenty of people in the world that don't mind paying. The funny thing is that, I too believed that this would fail and so would Microsoft's Minecraft vision. This isn't the first of this type of micro-transaction to hit a game with a prosperous and abundant modding community, think Minecraft, thank you Microsoft.
If this is so, I will not be giving them any more of my money. I believe that this is all in preparation for the next big release from Beth, which will have all this from the get go.
I'll check the video out soon! Gopher needs to up his thumnail game though.
I'd certainly be donating more if there were such an option (not really using many mods if I play is probably the bigger issue though, hehe). Something like Bitcoin can be traced to origin if someone clever was to go searching, but it's more private on the surface. Free is free.įor the 'would-be' donaters, I guess one problem is that it's not anonymous to either party - and I don't blame people who are concerned about that. That sounds a bit too much of a simple explanation, but it's certainly a true one. The main problem for people not donating is that they feel they shouldn't have to. One problem for me was accepting anything (just me personally), so while there was appreciation, there was also a feeling of guilt. In my experience of having a donation option for a year, in your money it would have been like $160 max? I personally only did it because people asked me, but I guess that is peanuts to most folks.
