None of that should be necessary, as the SKSE team reacted quickly and has already updated the Script Extender to work with the new patch.

Hopefully the updated SKSE will fix the old mods. But Bethesda really wants to keep making money off Skyrim, and the new Starfield. I am really worried about the next Elder Scrolls game, because Bethesda has really gone down as a game company. Greed is the word.

Bethesda is going through the enshitiffcation process for an entertainment company.

Greed has always been the word. I don't know where you get the idea that this is new. They have been trying for years to monetize modding.

How quickly so many forgot about the horse armor

Though by modern cosmetic DLC standards, the horse armor was really cheap. $2.50 for a skin is super reasonable.

Paying for skins at all is bullshit

And that sort of thinking is what got us here...I'm no better or worse then you just saying

You have to understand that time moves forward. That was just before my time as a video game player and a lot of the modern audience won't know what you're referencing at all.

A lot of modern audience doesn't know they're being fleeced

This is precisely what they're banking on. Current consumers will be put off but future generations grow up in the enshittified world believing it to be normal. You have to look back in history to see the full trend and most people won't do that.
