Is it safe to assume that the Gaben/Valve fanboys are going to go crawling back just like the Xbox crowd did?

 

You're bringing up a platform war for what reason?

[Draining Dragon]

Honestly I hope people you stated to boycott Valve/Steam because of this continue to do so.  Valve really needs a wake up call to get better quality control on Steam as for a long time they have just been resting on there reputation despite the fact that the quality of Steam and there handling of consumer support has been pure ****.

They were at least willing to reconsider a decision when their fans railed against it.

And they did make Steam, which is an incredibly reliable platform.

Cut them some slack.

When did the xbox fanboys come crawling back? I'm ready to set fire to mine. Playing pc games on my laptop with HDMI cable to TV screen and xpadder is far superior.

This. They'll do it in the next Fallout and TES games from the beginning, before mods get entangled in a web of shared content and dependencies.

 

After this whole fiasco I am looking at the competition now. Made a GOG account yesterday and it'll be my first choice for games that Steam also has.

Probably.

I honestly feel if it was inevitable it would have happened years ago. Really, all it is, is a bad idea.

If they try it in Fallout 4, I can see another backlash that's just as big. The only thing we wont have is mods getting pulled off steam because they're using assets from other mods, simply because those other mods wont have been made yet.

 

Although buying on GOG whenever possible is always good.

That has never stopped anybody before.

Article strongly hints that they will do this again in the future.

Well, that was just symptomatic of the greater systemic problem with Valve's implementation of this concept; they had no ground rules and no standard process of arbitration, instead leaving the policing entirely to the community. This laissez-faire approach was always going to open up a Pandora's Box of abuses, thefts, and bitter disputes over authorship, permission and revenue, not to mention witch-hunts and all-out war over what the modding community should stand for. It was going end in tears, so to pull the plug so quickly was probably for the best.

Paid mods is not a new idea, nor is it necessarily a bad one. But for it to work, it requires a unified, concerted effort by the entire community. Valve instead chose to divide it, and this was just the beginning of the result. Again, it's probably for the best that they pulled the plug before it gets any worse, because it was heading that way.

Note that if Valve and Bethesda have to sort this crap out themselves, the economics get a lot worse. I doubt we'll ever see a version of this plan with real oversight from the publishers.

CDPR is going to so capitalize on this if they try it again. 

[I SOLD MY SOUL TO BIOWARE]

Having this from the get-go in TES6 or Fallout 4 wouldn't make a whole lot of sense, seeing as the Skyrim modding community and the modding community for those will basically be one and the same and likely going to have the exact same reaction the second time.

[OdanUrr]

We've done this because it's clear we didn't understand exactly what we were doing.

 

Funny. I think you knew exactly what you were doing. I mean, nobody can be that dumb, right?

Ugh... why does everyone have such a hard on for CDPR? They're a business and you're their paycheck. The only difference is that they use goodwill to lure you.

IKR, why do people like companies that earn money by making people happy so much more than companies that make money by making people sad?

There's liking them. Then there's viewing them as infallible. That's how we get Steam. In the end all companies care about is their profit margin since they can't operate without money. People claimed Steam/Valve was the messiah of gaming... and look at it now.
