Over at E3, Bethesda has revealed a new initiative for Fallout 4 and Skyrim Special Edition which the company will use to push paid-for mods for both these hit games.
It’s called the Creation Club, and will offer a whole raft of custom-built content for the PC, PS4 and Xbox One – from simple skins or weapons, all the way up to new gameplay modes – when the system goes live later this summer.
Players will be able to purchase these mods from in-game marketplaces using special credits, and the latter will be bought with real money from the Steam gaming platform (or PSN/Xbox Live for console gamers). Said credits will be universal, meaning that you can spend them across both Fallout and Skyrim as you wish.
Naturally enough, there’s been a predictably angry reaction from fans who don’t want to pay for mod content which has previously been entirely free to download and use.
The YouTube launch trailer for the Creation Club has thus far accrued 11,600 dislikes (versus 1,000 likes) and a stream of negative commentary laden with plenty of lamenting on topics such as the relentless march of micro-transactions in gaming.
