(Following the publisher's earlier, abortive attempt to launch a paid mods programme in partnership with Steam). This has had the side-effect of shining a great deal more light on the Skyrim Together project, which has been at great pains to claim that the mod will be free, and rather it is its development that the Patreon pays for, in order to not fall foul of Bethesda's general stance against paid mods. There is no excuse as to why this code has remained in the codebase for this long and was distributed without credit or acknowledgement." They go on to offer "an apology to Ian and his team behind SKSE. These usages have been removed and any associated code is being reworked." However, subsequent to the Eurogamer interview, the Skyrim Together team posted their ' March Report', in which they acknowledged that "code from prohibited libraries was in use. We just have an automated build system that included some SKSE files but they are not used in the actual mod." "We rewrote the parts that were using files from the SKSE project so we do not rely on it anymore. Skyrim Together dev "Yamashi" initially disputed this, arguing in an interview with Eurogamer that "We did not steal anything", and that any SKSE references were the legacy of prototyping Skyrim Together using SKSE back in 2012.
The developers behind each mod have been raising dragonskin handbags at dawn for a while now, with SKSE dev Ian "extrwi" Patterson taking to Reddit to provide what he claimed was proof that the Skyrim Together folk had been "stealing SKSE code, uncredited, without permission." The mod in question is Skyrim Script Extender, aka SKSE, a venerable mod framework/loader which anyone who ever installed a Skyrim mod will instantly recognise the name of. Unfortunately, the rainbow which leads to online multiplayer mod Skyrim Together's pot of gold has lost a little of its lustre this week, following an acknowledgement that its developers had pilfered code from another mod.
There are so many elements of this story which elicit slow, confused blinking from me, but honestly, the revelation that an Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim mod has been pulling in $25,000 per month from Patreon was the one which really twisted my melon.
