We shouldn't have had reason to doubt them, but unfortunately a lack of good communication with the community at large prior to releasing the tools has completely bewildered the entire community and contributed in a big part to the resounding amount of resentment towards the new system.Д®arlier on today I wrote another 2,500 words for a Q&A interview with Rock, Paper, Shotgun. In a gaming industry that was and is running further and further away from modding. But in between all the drama of the past few days it's very easy to lose sight of the fact that this is the developer who released an amazing SDK for Morrowind, when they didn't have to, an amazing SDK for Oblivion, when they didn't have to, an amazing SDK for Fallout 3 (that worked with New Vegas), when they didn't have to, and an amazing SDK for Skyrim, when they didn't have to. I know many people will disagree with me, but I can't help but feel sorry for Bethesda. We shipped Oblivion with no DRM because we didn't like how it affected the game.Д®xcellent words. Most people don't know, but our very own Skyrim DLC has zero DRM. Not only do we want more mods, easier to access, we're anti-DRM as far as we can be. That is the exact opposite of what we stand for.

Some are concerned that this whole thing is leading to a world where mods are tied to one system, DRM'd and not allowed to be freely accessed. I particularly appreciated their comments on DRM, which I feel might have been slightly pointed at me:

Frankly, if they had written and released that blog piece when they'd first announced the paid workshop functionality then it would have helped to alleviate some of my fears.

You may not agree with everything written within it, but it is well written and shares key insights in to Bethesda's thinking when they went in to this endeavour. However, I think it's an amazingly good read.

Refunds have been sent out to anyone who paid for a mod using the system.Д«ethesda's blog piece originally defended the system and was then later updated. Valve and Bethesda have announced that they have removed the payment feature from Steam Workshop effective immediately.
