    Wonder how much money would be owed to these devs if they were paid even a fraction of the average bethesda dev. The management of Bethesda knowingly relies on the thankless* labour of thousands of devs just to get their games to a playable state.

    • okay sometimes they’ll offer you a tour of their studios but you still have to pay for the flights and accommodation so not really a ROI.

        Because the implementation was a shitshow. There was no verification that uploaders of popular mods were the actual mod creators, anybody could rush to be the first to upload something.
