Developers don't get less greedy just because gamers object.

Developers aren't the ones pushing shit like paid mods, Publishers are.

A fair point. Though I'd argue that, at least in some cases, the developers are absolutely the ones pushing the idea of exploitative paid content, which is something you see more once you get out of the triple-A sphere of influence. It's really only at the top of the pile that you see things like EA dictating terms to its developers and forcing paid content and DLC on developers who don't really want it.

But in Bethesda's specific case, it could be ZeniMax pushing more for it than Bethesda itself, since ZeniMax seems to have a history of business and legal decisions that make them seem like a collection of walking shitbags. That being said, Bethesda is also technically a publisher (ie, it's both a publisher and a developer depending on which arm of the company you're talking about), so it's hard to say where most of the aggressive decisions are actively coming from.
