I always enjoy reading when someone from the mod community gets hired on to a studio instead of the studio just sending out cease and desist orders to put a mod down. Bethesda is arguably the most mod friendly game studio out there, so that wouldn't have happened here, but they certainly didn't need to hire anyone from the modding community. So a feel good story all around.
Reminds me of old school Valve.
completely agree!
If they could only go with a new engine and continue mod support, they would be one of the best out there.
They needed to hire em coz their own workers are quite incompetent!
76 should really be a wake up call for their arrogance.
I saw the trailer for it and thought it was fake
I have a feeling that Fallout London is eventually going to get shut down via the rest being hired or a C&D being filed.
While it is nice to see modders being hired, I know they don't get full free reign to do what they do best, and I'm not fond of modders having their work shutdown because X/Y company feels threatened at not doing a better job than modders.
