Hopefully people can stop with the "I bet Bethesda will take down skyblivion!1!!" comments now. It's very clear there's good will between modders and the devs.

Why would anyone think that it would be taken down? The one thing Bethesda is good at is encouraging people to mod their games. It's the only reason why I didn't give up on them as a company after those two disasters called Fallout 76 and Starfield. (But to be fair my patience is running thin. ES6 and FO5 both have got to be absolute smash hits.)

eehhh they allow modding, but do nothing to support it.

Nothing? What about the development and free public release of the Creation Kit?

Uhhhh didn't they try, and fail at monetizing creation kit mods? and how many REAL mods come from it?

It's still a thing unfortunately, one could argue they're attempting to make modding profitable for modders, but of course they get a cut too.

Totally, this is why Bethesda games are so good for mods.

I hear they just gave everyone on the Skyblivion mod team a copy of the remaster.

You know, I think I did hear that somewhere.

Point still stands.
