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.

That means literally nothing to modders, and about 99% of gamers, at all.

I'm even surprised people had enough energy/time/whatever to even scour the EULA at the very beginning.

Some of us care about who we give our money to

I understand that, and I care who I give my money to as well.

But almost every game nowadays has that clause, and almost every game regardless of single player or not, has mods for it.

This is also a Bethesda game. People are going to mod it out the ass regardless of what a few words in a text box say. The fact you think it means anything like we'll never get official mod support is pretty cooked tbh.

Yes we should give Microsoft and Bethesda the benefit of the doubt. They've never done anything shady like try to sell mods before.

or adversely impact any other persons playing of the Game or their experience of playing the Game

Wouldn't want to adversely impact other people while playing your single player game. They can say what they want, people will mod it regardless.
