Comment on Skyblivion, the fan remake of Oblivion in Skyrim's engine, nears completion
Zahille7@lemmy.world 4 days agoExactly! I hate when people keep saying Bethesda “screwed over” mod devs, as if making a free mod takes precedence over someone who actually works for the game studio being told by their boss to make this update happen.
There’s too much going on at the company for someone to try to track down mod authors to “get their permission”
It would be like you offering me a place to stay and asking if I’m okay with you doing housework. Like I have no say, it’s your house, you need to do regular maintenance.

I disagree with the fundamental assertion that work is more important when it’s paid.

Don’t get me wrong, fuck Bethesda, but they’re the owners of the IP…whatever they say is more important is more important, paid or not…

And that’s completely valid. However, under the current legal framework, that simply isn’t the case.
