Bethesda is dependent on modders. They not only fix Beth’s games, they also ensure a certain amount of longevity and relevance.
It’s free labor that only benefits the company. And Beth really wants more big modders to join their Creation Club which means monetizing the free labor.
I can’t assign ‘benevolence’ to the machinations of a company their size when ‘smart business’ fits the bill equally well.
