Why won't Bethesda comment on the patch?

Post » Thu Dec 08, 2011 11:10 pm

Even PCGamer can't get a comment on the patch and its unintended consequences of breaking mods/LAA. Why can't they just come out and explain? Not too hard. Just would be nice to know why a) it wasn't announced B) we weren't warned the LAA would be affected c) they still haven't discussed it

RockPaperShogun also did an article on this. Nice to see the media catch on. http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2011/11/22/skyrim-patched-for-the-worse/

TW, LOL@ "not even (talking) about Lidia having AI on the level worse (than) the turtle in Mario games (at least turtle could find a path to Mario) )."

Because all it did was strengthen DRM. Not much to say.

Per your own link.

The 18MB downloadette is essentially there to stop the game from running without Steam: the main executable is now tied thoroughly into Valve’s security, unreliable offline mode et al. Nothing remarkable there, save for the surprising fact that it was at all unbound at release, but one of the upshots of this is that we’re now limited from faffing about with said executable.

Because they don't need to comment. They fixed their security of THEIR game and broke a mod that has now been fixed. Get over it already.
