At this year's E3, Bethesda disclosed some new information about their mod workshop program. Although I know very little about it, I've heard that it essentially forces one to pay for specific mods.
What are your thoughts on this?
Personally, it sounds like a steaming pile of rancid bullshit to me. The idea of having to pay for mods absolutely sucks IMO, and this whole thing seems like a cheap attempt by Bethesda to make extra profit off of others creations. Would you say I'm wrong? Either way, I sure hope there's a workaround for this, not because I plan on buying Skyrim, but because modifications should always be free. With mods like Counter Strike and Team Fortress it's understandable why they'd need to make money (in order to keep the servers running), but not this.

Never cared much for mods except for a select few games (Quake 2, Quake 3 Arena, Unreal Tournament and Unreal Tournament 2003 specifically) but if any of those had been paid mods I wouldn't've bothered with them. In my opinion the whole idea of mods is that they're free and made by the users.
I put paid mods in the same category as any other digital content such as DLC and digital-only released games, it needs to be free of charge for me to care, if they wanna get paid with any of my money they better deliver a full retail worth of product and publish it properly in physical form in my region of the world, like any other game I'm willing to pay for, or I simply won't bother.
tldr: paid mods can suck shit from a moldy tube and die the horrible infested death it deserves, just like all other paid digital content

They tried it once, let's just say it didn't work out.

I always have the idea that all mods on PC are easily obtainable for free, as I've seen friends of mine getting some crazy ones for fighting games through out the years that I would definitely buy if they were in consoles. Some of the mods people on PC have access to, really make you ponder how much you are really missing out by staying with consoles.

What happens is that women's brains work differently for the most part. Girls can be curious about dongs or whatnot, but it is definitely not something they will visually crave. So it is no sexism even if they purposely wanted it to be sexism, it is just the nature of our differences as genres, which works great as that is not something we want to see.

Oh, and don't forget gender is fluid now; so Bison can be a girl, if he wants.

But Bison was always gender fluid. Have you guys forgotten that Cammy was supposed to be its vessel?

Dan E. Kool - She is a clone of Bison and was supposed to be his new body in case he died or something. Can a real fan of Street Fighter clarify this for us?

Nah, she used to be Bison's bitch when she was young and one of the many Shadaloo doll sex toys for the ones who worked for Bison.
Then Cannon Spike happened and she decided to switch teams and go full Delta Red against Shadaloo. That's why she has so much sympathy for the dolls because she knows what they go through.
The confusion comes because in theory all these dolls are Bison's daughters. They were genetically designed to perpetuate and transcend his malevolent plans into the future with his own DNA. Cammy just happens to be his older daughter.
The interesting thing is that he has no remorse in giving them away to guys like Balrog, Vega, and now F.A.N.G., he uses them as rewards for all his high rank followers, to do with them as they please, and it wouldn't surprise me if he does the same, despite that they carry his essense genetically.

Ah, so there you go. Thanks for the explanation, stratogustav! It's even more messed up than I thought!
