There's precedent for this, according to Marchino. Marchino believes that Bethesda could dodge the suit by transferring all of its assets to Microsoft and leaving behind a shell if the sale goes through prior to a ruling.
Remarkably, Marchino, one of the lawyers bringing the case, could actually seek to block the upcoming sale of Bethesda to Microsoft. What does this mean for Bethesda?įor its part, Bethesda has said that the plaintiffs were "not damaged at all" by the Fallout 4 Creation Club content not being classed as DLC. The lawyers are asking for punitive damages, the recovery of cash paid for Creation Club DLC, and other miscellaneous relief. As such, gamer Jacob Devine, on whose behalf the lawsuit is being filed, believes he was ripped off. According to Gray and Marchino, the Creation Club content was sold as mods but was in fact extra DLC for Fallout 4. The lawsuit is being filed by lawyers Thomas Gray and Filippo Marchino of The X-Law Group. Sony has not yet offered further comment on the matter.The class-action lawsuit alleges that the Fallout 4 Creation Club should be accessible for Season Pass owners. Previously, Bethesda had only announced a series of delays with the update for PlayStation 4 users, having issues with file size limits for mods imposed by Sony. It's a strange turn of events, especially since mod support was a large part of the marketing surrounding Fallout 4. The situation could possibly change, as the end of Bethesda's blog attests, and there are plans to update fans if it does. Unfortunately until then players won't be able to sift through the gobs and gobs of mods out there for either game. Bethesda is "very disappointed" in Sony's decision, but didn't offer an explanation as to why it had been made in the first place, only lamenting the "considerable time and effort" that went into making the project come to fruition.īethesda still considers it an important and integral part of its plans for Fallout 4 and Skyrim on PlayStation 4, but states that it cannot move forward until Sony "allows" it to offer mod support. Previously, Bethesda had promised mod support for the console and all of the niceties that came with it: flying Randy Savage dragons, ridiculous mods where everything looks like pizza a la some other very talented modders and more. Unfortunately, it seems Sony has informed the company that they will not be approving user mods in the way they "should work," where users have free reign over what they can create for Fallout 4 or Skyrim Special Edition. Bethesda has announced that there will no longer be mod support for its PlayStation 4 titles.
