When will Todd shut this down?
Some modders from plebbit made a multiplayer mod for Skyrim and locked it behind patreon for the "closed beta", which was supposed to be temporary between 1-2 weeks and then It would become available for everyone in for the "open beta"
But a month has past and they're earning 35k dollaridos, and there's no date for the "open beta".
When will Todd shut this down?

They keep callling it close beta even though anybody who pays them in patreon can get in.

>Everyone has free access to the software, but not the servers which the dev team is hosting for testing purposes. This means that the mod is not being "sold" via the $1 Pattern tier, access to the testing server is
Wow, the mental gymnastics of these soys never cease to amaze me
Ian Sullivan
How do I report it to our lord Todd?

as long as they're only using the open sourced parts, and the underlying game still requires skyrim to play, there's nothing to be done. see: openmw.org
James Taylor
They are clearly monetising the mod and that's not allowed. They are doing mental gymnastics by saying it's free to download the launcher but you have to pay in order to access the not-very-closed-as-long-as-you-pay-anytime-you-want beta
Samuel Hill
>can't sell mods
sure you can
Ryder Hill
The mod is free, just not right now.
Logan Campbell
Not much different that putting loot oxes behind real money paywall or "Riot/blizz points", for example.
Also this mod has been in development for 5 years, only now the closed alpha has been released and next month/april will be for free.
Evan Edwards
You can sell drugs, but it's not allowed
Reddit defense squad is here!
The key difference is that they own the game, the fat nerds that are making this mod don't
Levi Cook
user, people sell mods even without being in the bethesda or steam store. stop being stupid.
James Roberts
After the 76 disaster you think Todd would be quick to shut this down out of spite.
Austin Thompson
True, but they've been doing this for +4 years without it, and have already stated this will only happen during the first alpha (current one) and its mostly due umit using their own servers for testing.
I imagine at some point dedicated private servers would become a thing, if not and it's still pay2play then bitching would be in demand.

Are you retarded? they don't care about some shady nude mmod.But this one uses their IP. They weren't allowed to host it on Steam for a reason. They even got a mail from Bethesda that it's allowed as long as it was FREE, which it isn't the case here since they are getting $35k a month and people have to pay in order to play it. They are prolong this state just like Star Citizen and until they get DMCA'd
Cooper Martin
theyre basically charging for their own servers.
you can still host your own or join any that other people host.
Adam King
People have been copystriked for less than this
Austin Cook
>you can still host your own
No you can't you stupid mongoloid. They only made public the launcher, not the server files, so it's fucking useless. And $35k a month in server costs? They must've been scammed really badly
Wyatt Cox
>you can still host your own or join any that other people host.
You can't, since they haven't released the server files. They said It'll be released eventually once the mod is properly released.
So right now you can download the launcher from github and must pay $1-$20 to their patreon in order to access to the close beta. Which isn't closed at all since they're allowing anyone who PAYS to get in, inestad of establishing a hard limit, negating the purpose of a proper close beta (allowing a few select people to test and get proper feedback from those few). So they're just raking donations right now.

Fucking copyshit laws man. Some of them are fine but fuck that shit were people get copystriked for shit like similar words in the title while games/movies/whatever are different all together.
Michael James
Does not mean that those people should have been or these guys should be.
Oliver Parker
Good thing you are not in charge of making laws
Colton Jones
Ah you're one of these American bootlickers who thinks that everything should be forbidden by law.
Liam Morris
And you must be their Reddit/discord defense squad.
The only reason they are making 35 grand a month is because they are using the Skyrim IP. Why don't they make their own game? Because they can't, nobody would buy their shit.
David Green
not him but
>not giving a fuck about some ((((IP)))) means he's from reddit
Ian Richardson
> they are making 35 grand a month
Which is more than your yearly pay and it makes you mad. Such a sad cuck you are.
Carson Collins
He is waiting so he can reap more money
Christopher Taylor
I thought the mod was free :^)
Dominic Fisher
I don't care for Howard but I REALLY dont care for scumbag modders that lock shit behind a paywall, hope its reported to Bethseda.
Gavin Hughes
He wants it finished before the lawyers swoop in to seize the code base.
William Rogers
>Yea Forums bootlicker central
Adam Long
"Pay-to-play" is specifically defined as a violation of the end user agreement for the game and the CK. Their "technically you aren't paying for the software, just to use it" bullshit doesn't mean a thing.
John Rogers
>Todd will release Skyrim for the nth time with multiplayer mode
>It will still be as buggy as this mod
Jonathan Carter

Does it have support for VR and sex mods, asking for a friend...
Ian Gonzalez
Going to fuck your friend?

He always wanted to roleplay as a khajiit whore that gets fucked in backalleys for a dose of skooma[/spoilers]
Luke Price
Nope, most SKSE mods don't work, the only exception being SkyUI.
Jayden Sullivan
Pretty good, though I would roll as a nord and make him into a dunmer waifu.
