? So you’re saying all modders do is ruin games then?
Comment on Bethesda Gifts Everybody in the Skyblivion Mod Team a Copy of Oblivion Remastered
Initiateofthevoid@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 hours agoBethesda supports modders the way WOTC supports D&D content creators. They profit immensely off of other people’s work without lifting a finger but also try to exploit those same creators for even more profit at every possible opportunity. Usually in such a way that it does permanent harm to an otherwise thriving community.

Starfield was the epitome of this. Rather than make a full game and let modders play around, they launched an empty, barren wasteland not-so-subtly made with extensive modding in mind. They figured that they don’t have to put effort into delivering a good product since their fans will do that for them following release.

Id also add that they’re creativitly bankrupt. They even said in interviews that they couldn’t figure out how to make Starfield a fun game until a year or so before release.

They never really figured that out, actually.

Which is scary for ES VI. If they can’t make todds “dream game” fun, what kind of souless monster will the next game be?
