    Mod support on consoles is borderline unprecedented. The fact that the devs made sure that consoles got that goes to show just how negligible it isn’t. Skyrim is practically the face of game modding. Without any other context, if you bring up game modding, you’re most likely going to be conjuring skyrim in people’s heads. Modding is absolutely not negligible to Skyrim financially or even to its identity

      It’s nothing but an excuse to pretend their distribution platform is legitimate.

      There’s nothing remotely interesting available on the official Bethesda mod platform. It didn’t sell them any extra copies. It’s complete and utter trash.

      There’s no connection and no commonality between that nonsense and the modding ecosystem that kept people playing on PC.
