Skyrim would have been a great game, if it was built on the principles of socialism, which is sort of was with the mod community, unfortunately it was built on the principles of liberalism using the wealth and experience acquired from the previous projects.

Once you get to this point in life you only have two choices, no matter what you're doing, are you willing to invest the money back into human beings? They tried to do something with mods irrc so why not invest capital into establishing a school for devs? Literally could have ended up having the most interesting looking, polished, well run, videogame ever made.

Instead we get this lovable half-assed broken mess carried by both money thrown at advertising campaigns and the mod scene. Yet another example of how short sighted libs are, all the awesome stuff people manage to build is an exception that proves it. All that effort displayed by wondering adventurers would get multiplied if they worked together. I mean what was that Baldurs Gate sort of shows it. Now imagine if a Game company had 1.000-10.000 workers in-house, guaranteed employment, 8 hours of sleep a night, lunch breaks, shared goal, instead of what they have had.

Although gamers don't deserve it, so scratch that. The developers do tho'

Wouldve been the biggest PR move ever too but the capitalist worldview made them see the modding community as their enemies lol

Ever since Blizzard allowed their game's mod to spawn League of Legends every developer seems to have gone to war with modding to different extents.
