Bethesda to charge for small plugins for Oblivion

Perhaps if a few less people downloaded games illegally it wouldn't have come to this. As it stands, I'm glad large game studios aren't ditching the PC as a platform altogether and heading for the more profitable (read: people actually buy the games) consoles.

Perhaps I haven't read it all properly, but isn't it just the official downloads that cost money? Or do consumers from now on also have to pay to download fan-made mods or the ability to use them?

You know this could be a good thing, by making you pay they make it more likely they'll produce beeter plugins and they also can't provide it "as is" so bug testing will be better.

Hell you pay'd for the game and the expansions, the only difference here is you don't get it in a box.

And in the future some accountant will say, “you know all those brilliant free mods are our competition is there anything we can do about that?”

I don't know about anyone else likes, but I can't wait to play Oblivion.

It's always cool to know that before you play a game, that you're going to play a game that will be really, really, really good.

My pre-ordered collector's edition should be waiting for me at my local store tomorrow. Or else I shall reap a terrible harvest of skulls at the mall.

Thanks to you I just used half the amount of money on my bank account for the Collector's Edition.
