I think this guy broke an internet autist record. Even among the batshit you rarely see a single screech get that big.

Based.It's that time again, another Modding Drama Shit storm.
TL;DR
Nexus has released an announcement that Mod makers can no longer delete their mods after a 1 month grace period starting now. Queue up the collective screaming and whining from pre-madonna "artists" as they exclaim they will now be pulling down their shitty blendshapes and re-texture mods down. Oh Noes!
Nexus claims this is for their new ~collection~ feature. However we all know the truth. No more cringey ass "If Trump Wins you can't play my Civil War Mod every again!" bullshit. If any especially juicy posts come out of this I'll self-bump this thread.
Mods are serious business.
This. Technically they own nothing and the devs can take their work and incorporate it into their game without asking them.Mods are serious business.
If they want to own the content they make, they should make their own games instead of being parasitic vermin on actual developers.

dont know if this got posted yet, but here is a perfect example of modder ego: https://www.reddit.com/r/skyrimmods/comments/jkxigq/you_decide_what_happens_next_subreddit/
Couldn't be arsed to read everything but one of the first sentences really stuck with me in terms of arrogance :dont know if this got posted yet, but here is a perfect example of modder ego: https://www.reddit.com/r/skyrimmods/comments/jkxigq/you_decide_what_happens_next_subreddit/
This sentence heavily implies that 1/ skyrim is not great (I would agree with this) 2/ that those cunt modders are good enough to polish a turd into greatness (LOLNO)I'll show the way with my ideas and Skyrim will be great soon.
What rights are you buying?
Global first print and digital publication rights (including audio); you’ll be giving Cirsova the exclusive rights to publish and use the purchased material prior to and for six months following the publication of those materials. After that period, Cirsova will retain the right to publish and sell the purchased materials non-exclusively in the collected format (i.e. the anthology will remain available in print and electronic format as initially offered, however the materials will not be repackaged and resold). Cirsova will have the right to use your name and portion or whole of the material to promote the work. During the period of exclusivity, you agree to refrain from publishing the purchased material in whole or in part without prior consent. The exception to this exclusivity is if a piece is selected for inclusion in a Best of the Year collection or as a part of an awards packet.
“Cirsova will retain the right to publish and sell the purchased materials non-exclusively in the collected format (i.e. the anthology will remain available in print and electronic format as initially offered, however the materials will not be repackaged and resold). ” what exactly does this mean?
Cirsova Publishing will keep the issue containing your story in print via Print on Demand and available digitally as an eBook on various platforms. Cirsova Publishing will not sell your story individually or as part of a different anthology without prior arrangements with the author. While Cirsova will keep the collection featuring your story in print, after our exclusivity period has ended, you will be able to resell the story to another outlet or publish it independently. Several Cirsova Authors have resold their stories to Starship Sofa [a podcast that produces audio versions of short SFF] and/or released anthologies of their works containing stories previously published in Cirsova.
because never in the history of publishing has there ever been a right to take down your own work as a standard procedure.
Hmmm.

we have also made the difficult decision to remove the Lifetime Premium Membership (membership that never expires) as a purchasing option.

I've never subscribed to this "modder will fix it" nonsense, you either like skyrim as is (as proved by the huge amount of consoletards who bought and loved the game before their platform started having mods) or you don't and it's not some random shmuck out modding this boring POS who are going to change the nature of the game itself.
Huh. That sounds an awful lot like Eric S. Raymond's musings on The Cathedral and the Bazaar about Linux and the Open Source community (http://catb.org/~esr/writings/cathedral-bazaar/cathedral-bazaar/) but he's using a curiously different definition of "Cathedral". In ESR's view the Cathedral is the centralized top-down development model whereas the Bazaar is a ground-up development model where you look through loads of conflicting submissions and ideas that are just offered to you in order to make something better. But Wrye is using Cathedral to represent some kind of collaborative pursuit of perfection.Morrowind modders are pretty chill these days. You'll see that they typically want attribution but nobody's pulling their mods anymore. A lot of the more active modders ascribe to Wrye's point of view. Not all, but nothing like in the long gone days of planet elder scrolls:
http://wryemusings.com/Cathedral vs. Parlor.html
All the MW modders recognize each others stuff anyway, there's absolutely no glory in modding that game (maybe every ten years when TR release a major update), and moving to small servers made them more collaborative I think.
It's the right way to do it, honestly. Modders can be such fucking drama queens that this one sentence will save you a lot of headaches when a retard gets so anally devastated he tries to go legal on your ass. Providing a largely indiscriminate mass mod-hosting service without that doesn't seem worth the trouble. Mod DB ToU has that line too:I must remember the next time I intend to break the law to give 30 days notice, and then I'll be immune from getting into trouble.
You can shit on modders all you want. (Except loverslab modders because they'd probably enjoy it.) But you can't (legally) assert de facto ownership of their work. No way. No how.
