I don't understand this bullstuff about Creation Club, can someone help?
1. Creation Club is not using a cloud based service. Meaning bethesda would have to manually update their game each time just to add new mods. Each update breaks F4SE and other free mods which alienates the free modding community.
2. Every new mod on creation club gets forced onto your hard drive thus eating up hard drive space which alienates the consumer.
1 & 2 makes these mods incredibly accessible to piracy. Better encryption and a cloud based service would almost entirely eliminate piracy.
I'm wondering why bethesda chose a really inferior way to handle downloading these paid mods because it opens them up to piracy and it also alienates the free modding community at the same time. This doesn't seem to benefit either party, unless bethesda actually doesn't care about the money and is doing this specifically to subtly shut down free modding off the nexus.
