British brethren, I totally agree with you, Bethesda doesn't owe them anything. The fact they think they would bring enough players to earn this is funny, especially if you take into account that Fallout 4 has the 4th highest ever player account at 36,366.8 avg players in the last 30 days with the TV show alone which most likely only increase once the update releases and that is only steam
What strikes me about your "reaction" is that it is taken very much out of context. You're not reacting to the entire video from the developers, you're just taking a small scene and then getting upset about it. The developers' video is not about getting upset about the lack of communication from Bethesda, but about explaining why everything is now shifting and what the solution looks like, or to what extent a solution can be provided by the developers at all, but somehow you don't address this in your "reaction". Projects like Fallout London are the only reason why gamers outside of the hardcore fans of the respective franchise are still playing the games years later. The only reason why Bethesda games have a long run and enjoy great popularity is the modding scene, which makes the games fixed, not to say playable in the first place. Bethesda knows full well that they only release unfinished crap and rely on their fans to fix it with mods. It would be stupid of Bethesda to stop such modding projects, because then they would quickly be disenchanted as a development studio.
I reacted after watching the whole video I just wasn't going to upload the who video first lol. In the original response they gave this is exactly how he came across, he's even since said himself in the follow ups that he knows how he sounded and has somewhat corrected that. Modding has strengthened a lot of Bethesda games especially since they started supporting it more directly but for the main market its been a help but not a lifeline. A large number use mods but its not he majority. I fact updates like these are a major source of why etc they live on alongside DLC etc
Bethesda has supported mods since Morrowind. They made the creation kit tool for Skyrim and onward for their games. Why would they think to stop now? They brought mods to console and the fallout London guy in the video says that they support modding “to an extent.” Like wow. The guy came across as entitled of that. Bethesda fully supports mods. I dislike that line - “people mod BGS games to fix the issues.” Every modern game has performance mods and bug fix mods, because modern games are so complex. It’s a no brainer to download those, but people mod for several reasons from armor, bases, ENBs and to you know what (CBBE, lol) - but people mod BGS games, because it is made easy to do with all the resources available and Bethesda not giving a single hoot with what people do with their IP.
