I am posting this on GOG simply because the steam forums are a huge fuckfest for trolls *cough* moderators.

So I bought Fallout 4 like any previous Fallout title. My guts told me it would not be the reinvention of the franchise, which seems now, after the release and 15 hours into the game, pretty much the truth. In fact Fallout 4 is on many parts a step back.

But I was and am o.k. with that, simply because I expect a strong mod community. Aside from the fact that Bethesda relies nowadays way too much on their work, an american steam-contact hinted me a line in the product description of the seasons pass:"...get the Fallout 4 season pass and get all Fallout 4 DLC for one S.P.E.C.I.A.L. price. " and that he suspects the paid mod nonsense will be tacked onto the seasons pass

I already suspected Bethesda in my Steam userreview of Fallout 4 to pull off another paid mod nonsense like they already tried with Skyrim (No anti piracy measures, no quality control, no refunds, no compability guarantee but 75% of the revenue for valve and bethesda and 25% for the modder minus initial 400 bucks also for valve and bethesda)

So obviously I am not the only one concerned about another publisher scam that could harm the modding scene. For me it would be reason enough to ask Bethesda for a refund and probably stop buying their games.

What do you think?

I think you are very confused about the meaning of "season pass".... Which by the way around here on gOg for Withcer 3. I guess gOg and CDProject are looking into into selling mods.

Mr. D™: Read my post again, you are misquoting me.
You lost me..

Are you thinking there will be paid mods because some "american steam-contact" thinks so? Or..

Are you thinking there will be paid mods because.. why? The "season pass" description, as YOU posted it, says "get the Fallout 4 season pass and get all Fallout 4 DLC for one S.P.E.C.I.A.L. price". How do paid mods play into that wording?

Reads like you think it might be so because.. some other person on the internet thinks so..

Yes / no?
Use Google, search for "Fallout 4 paid mods" - pick the link you like / trust most, as Bethesda has stated that they may consider a form of compensation for modders (paid mods) somewhere in the future, but certainly not for F4.

Fallout 4 is a piece of crap.

- Immortal companions, they go in a knocked down mode if hurt a lot, but they don't die, you use Stimpacks to get them back up.

- Armor and weapons don't break.

Steam is also a piece of crap ever since VALVe introduced paid mods in April 2015 and with Team Fortress 2 and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive in the form of the Steam Marketplace back in 2012.

So yeah I have not purchased 1 single video game from Steam in 2012. I'm very happy I'm purchasing video games from gog.com exclusively since 2012 and from May 2011 when I first joined gog.com.

- Such in Fallout 3 and Fallout NV.

So, all Fallout games are crap?

The first editor who will establish paid mod will be blacklisted for me, completely.

I really advise people to do the same.

Financing these companies greed activities is the definite death of PC.
The biggest shame about this is that they try to hide their greed between a "moral" reason stating that '"modders need to be paid for their work"..

They tried stupid DLC full of nothing.... It worked
They tried early season pass asking you to buy $30 or more, even before a game was launched ... it worked
They tried to sell digital cards to make fake useless badges... it worked !!!
Now they try to slowly push it in front of the community creations. If you let this happen, they're going to push something else later.

Get a refund as soon as you can, mate, really.
You can buy this game later once you got a clear answer as to whether they establish paid mod or not.

O.K. obviously I was not clear enough about this: I suspected that Bethesda would pull off another extreme poorly executed paid mod nonsense aka modding community scam, while I wrote my steam userreview about Fallout 4, because they tried once and said they would bring it back later.

Another steam user I know from the forumfights about their skyrimmodscam told me he has the same supicion/assumption and showed me the quoted line from the season pass product description that triggered his suspicion.

So, as you can read above I close with the conclusion that I am not the only one expecting something harmful happening to the modding community. I`m not sure monetizing the mod community is a good thing, but when you do it, you have to do it in a professional, responsible way, which bethesda/valve did not when they tried to pull that crap onto Skyrim.

What part of the quoted line makes you wary about mods?

Let me know when you actually have something substantive. Something more than your friend having a suspicion due to F4 having a season pass. This is really tinfoil hat territory . FUD, in other words.

Sorry, I have no sympathy. People keep buying the rubbish at day one knowing its going to be bad, and because so many go out and buy it publishers can do whatever they like, you buy it, then its your fault your being treated like it. Me, I picked up 39 x360 games today for £65, who got the best deal?
Fallout 4 is a rubbish game compared to its predecessors (completely streamlined), but if you look at Steam: over 400 thousand people play that - Im sorry - crappy game.
They know theyll get away with a lot of bull, but I doubt theyll try to pull that shit off again, cause paid mods obiously was the one thing that was crossing the line.
