tl;dw

Pete Hines replied to people on twitter. Gets very frustrated because the creation club doesn't have paid mods but mini DLC's. The only distinction he can make between paid mods and mini DLC's is that Bethesda QA tests them (fucking lol) and that they don't turn off achievements and trophies.

He also addressed criticisms that they allowed existing mods onto the Creation Club when they specifically said they wouldn't do this. Basically Hellfire Armor, Chinese Stealth Armor, and other repeat mods they put up don't count because they're not original ideas since they were "first" in Fallout 3, so they can put them on their Creation Club all they want.

Why do people even ask Pete Hines questions on Twitter? He's Zenimax's personal PR shill, it's his job to ensure you DON'T get the info you want but rather some canned PR spiel obviously written by his overlords at Zenimax

Yeah and Beth gets a cut. That's not a problem.

The problem is Beth lieing and trying to pretend they arent paid mods when they are. Aka they tried to do it in the past and it was a flop.

FFX is the best game of all time. The only good Nintendo franchises are Pokemon and Fire Emblem. Comics are for kids. https://i.imgur.com/LJ3WSyB.gif

I really don't understand why Beth is going about this the way they are.

It'd be much better to play up the fact that they "need" to do this in order to get external file access mods for PS4 and are just offering the service to everyone than trying to convince people these are not paid mods.

They announced F4 when the modding community yelled at them for messing up Skyrims moddability.

Wonder how they'll quell it this time.

Too bad it won't flop, I really doubt this backlash and negative reviews are really harming Bethesda at all. And derp console gamers will eat it up as per usual

Only Fallout 4. It downloads all of the Creation Club mods without permission.

Yup. I had a 2.1GB update download and install itself to my computer, which was primarily the CC stuff.

This. I'm worried that it's going to be a huge success and then will become the new norm, much like we saw with micro transactions.

I looked it up and it seems like they work with 'milestones' when it comes to payments. So presumably modders need to sell a specific amount until they're paid.
