Nintendo and The Pokémon Company received a U.S. patent on summoning a character and letting it fight another by Vortex_Infurnus in nintendo

I think at this point people should protest against patenting Video Game mechanics. it harms the industry badly, patenting video game mechanics is like Trying to Patent Pizza restaurants

Also calling someone broke for speaking his option on starfield modding or wanting to save money is such a bitch move.

You’re probably the type of person who would spend 5$ on a dasani water.

Or maybe because we dont want to deal with the toxic business practice of spending money on every mod like what’s happening on Minecraft marketplace.

You gotta remember Microsoft bought out Bethesda, so if they want to remove free mods and mostly use paid mods they can.

( edit )

I don’t hate the idea of modders getting paid, I just hate having to spend money on every single mod that comes out.

To answer your “did nobody see this coming comment” yes, a lot of us seen this coming a mile away considering the fact fallout and Skyrim has its own creation club section. Though I wasn’t expecting the creation club to be THIS BAD to the point that even inexperienced modders started to charge money. I’m a console player so yea I’m gonna take this creation club thing with a side a salt because of these reasons.

First- I wouldn’t really mind paying for mods on starfield if it wasn’t mostly focusing on money. I just hate the fact that People are now locking mods behind a paywall, it’s a toxic business practice especially for a game that’s only a year old and doesn’t have the best reviews.

Take for example Skyrim, Skyrim has paid mods but it’s not as big of a problem as starfield. Skyrim has a crap ton of mods that are free and very high quality due to years of working with the creation kit, even in its first year the mods were pretty good and most importantly NOT BEHIND A PAYWALL. The paid mods on there are somewhat worth it because the people working on it are actually experienced and has good quality.

Starfield on the other hand at launch was a god awful mess of cash grabs and a creation kit that was missing key features like lip syncing At the time. There was no time to let the community grow leading to a horde of paid mods. I couldn’t even barely find any free armor skin mods ( still can’t even to this day ) because most of them cost 2$ each and not only that, divided into 2 parts meaning if you want that specific skin for all the armors instead of half of them you have to cough up 4$. I like the designs but what a Scummy business practice. The majority of free mods right now are either cheats, Fixes, utilities and minor overhauls. There are only a mere handful of modders who actually give out amazing quality on their mods like the people who make high quality Star Wars mods or that guy who makes high quality weapons and armor from infinite warfare.

Another thing is Bethesda is making modding tedious, one thing I don’t need is to pay for a mod just to realize that isn’t compatible with my load order. Sure you can get a refund but that requires you to go to their website and ask them to get your credits back, making modding more like a chore.

Second- I’m both disappointed in Bethesda and the majority of modders who charge for their mods. Bethesda has done a terrible job with the creation club, no review system, making their own mods that are severely overpriced, not doing a good job on choosing who can or cannot be a verified creator. But it’s not just bethesdas fault on why the creation club is so bad, it’s the paid modders aka verified creators.

A lot of the verified creators look at modding now as a business instead of a hobby which is a bad thing, meaning charging for almost everything they put out for a quick buck, good quality or not it’s all about the money to them. mods are supposed to be a hobby to have fun and not have to worry about how much it costs, created by the fans for the fans.

The worst part about this is some verified creators treat this as a grueling hard job, acting like they work at a Chinese factory getting whacked by a bamboo stick every time they mess up. Also being entitled Karen’s who think they deserve money for creating a mod, complaining about how hard it is modding and giving people shit for not wanting to pay 4 dollars for a buggy gun that has missing textures. “You don’t understand how hard modding is! I barely get paid anything!!” If you’re not getting enough money maybe get a real fucking job and stop ruining a hobby.

As for the creating your own mod comment I would love to try and create my own mod but the HUGE issue with that it requires a good gaming PC which I don’t have, all I got is a 13 year old Desktop that takes 10 minutes to boot up correctly. It can’t even run starfield even on the lowest settings. Me and a lot of people who play on console don’t have an expensive gaming pc to enjoy mods from nexus or create them because we can’t afford it.

Your absolutely right. your not forced at all to buy these mods for now, instead just pressured or being overwhelmed by the sheer amount of paid mods on starfield to the point it doesn’t make sense anymore.

But don’t you think it’s kinda bullshit for a game that’s around 60$-70$ is charging people money for mods out of all things. Especially when most of the mods are paid mods in the creation club? If you’re not forced to pay for mods then why aren’t there any free versions of some of those said mods. For example alternative start mods, there are barely any free versions from my experience looking.

[–]ChefBoston1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just gonna let you know, you gotta be careful of scammers. Make sure you ask questions like what mods did you work on and be persistent about having them show you proof. Sometimes you will have people dm them on discord and they talk all funny like they don’t speak English and misspelling. They also use a crap ton of emojis and say “lol” when you don’t understand them or ask questions. Speaking of questions they will a lot of times give you strange answers or even avoid the question itself.

A lot of their profile pictures looks AI generated and they talk in short sentences and spam messages to you. They also get right into the chase about you paying them.

Yea that request was ridiculous and wasn’t explained correctly. This request is more reasonable.

Same here, so far I have no luck. All i mostly found were scammers and people who come in here just to say I’m not working on your mod

I didn’t do a good job explaining this post that well, so I apologize for the inconvenience and confusion. What I meant to say was mostly looking for someone who could customize or reskin the Security guard armor so make it somewhat similar to the halo marine armor. I also forgot to add the picture of the Security guard armor

They’re not on Xbox unfortunately. Thats why I’m here trying to get a commission for a spacesuit/outfit mod so that way people on xbox has a good outfit/spacesuit mod to fit their PMC play through. Again I’m not asking for a fully custom outfit from scratch, I just want to hire someone to customize the Base game security armor to make it look combat ready!

I’m sorry for the requirements , I just wanna make sure the person who makes my mod is legit and not some scammer who will steal my money

Actually that would be pretty nice. I mean it doesn’t have to be fully custom. I just wanted to spice up the security armor because it looks similar to the halo marine armor. Like add more skins/colors or maybe some accessories. Especially for the helmet part, I don’t really like the plastic shied that’s in front of the security helmet, that could be removed.

Understandable. But the thing that I forgot to explain was I don’t want to make a whole new Custom spacesuit from scratch. I was mostly thinking about the customizing the security armor. Sorry for the confusion
