    Don’t get me wrong, fuck Bethesda, but they’re the owners of the IP…whatever they say is more important is more important, paid or not…

      I disagree with the fundamental assertion that software can be owned

          Why are you using a state’s laws to determine your own sense of morality?

            Personal beliefs and the laws to which you are upheld are two different things. I didn’t say I agree with the law. Why are you assuming my personal beliefs?

              Because you said what they say is important is more important. That sounds like a subjective opinion to me, not an interpretation of the law.

                Well, if they own the IP, under the framework under which we live, their will is factually more important. 🤷‍♀️

                    Right. So whoever did the update at Bethesda found it important to do that update. The developers of FO:London found it important to release their mod. If you ask the Bethesda employee they’d think their work was more important. If you ask the FO:L team they would say their work was more important. How do you determine whose importance was more important?
