Hopefully people can stop with the "I bet Bethesda will take down skyblivion!1!!" comments now. It's very clear there's good will between modders and the devs.

Oh, well, 'Bethesda apprectiating what the Skyblivion people are doing' would look something like hiring the mod team to complete their work in house, as an actual official product.

... So that they could be, you know, paid for their passionate work.

Passion doesn't pay bills.

Does... did everyone just now not remember how that was a thing that used to happen? Mod teams actually getting hired, paid?

Particularly with Valve, back in the late 90s through 00's?

I'm just saying they could appreciate something in a "hey that's pretty cool" way, and at the same time have no interest in them actually being part of Bethesda itself. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ok then, keep paying all your favorite artist's bills with 'appreciation'.
