to be honest with you senpai, new vegas itself stole many of its concepts from fallout 3 mods.
>>345109943
Example ?
Anything made by the GECK is property of Bethesda as per the EULA anyway, so they didn't steal shit.
The mod author isn't even bothered.

You should read it again, it isn't. If the mod author wanted to, they could definitely take this to an attorney.

Fallout New Vegas's entire crafting and weapon modding system was based off of a modder who made a crafting mod for Fallout 3. The mod author basically said he was honored that Obsidian was inspired by his mod. ~2:00

pretty sure they would have somewhere in the EULA that they own the rights to any mods created using the creation kits.
their jew lawyers would have sorted that out so they don't get sued for plagiarism.

I think this is a bit different. This isn't mechanics, it's a story. Anyone can think up a crafting system, this is a narrative though. It's more creative than that
>>345110572
it's different in terms of what is being borrowed from but not in terms of legality.
"stole". it's not stealing. bethesda literally owns everything made with their mod tools and has the authority to use it.. you can't steal from yourself.
you guys can call it lazy, but it's definitely not stealing. also, the reason i don't think it's a big deal is because in literally what universe did people not know that bethesda was super lazy?

Pete Hines recommended authors who had mods stolen during the console mods scandal, to send a DMCA request to their email. Mod authors wouldn't lawfully be able to do that if they didn't 100% own their own mods.
>>345110781
It's okay when Obsidian does it.
>>345110962
there's an order of precedence. mod authors can't steal from other mod authors. but that doesn't mean bethesda isn't still the puppet master above the all who has rights to everything. the user agreement to use fallout modding software explicitly says that bethesda has the rights to everything.

Was it always like this, or did it start with Fallout 4? I vaguely remember F3/NV's EULA being different.
