Just baby steps at the minute so expect more in the future,” user tonightm87 wrote. Bethesda blocking mods it probably is planning to release on the Creation Club. “They’re probably planning on releasing something similar themselves,” user Yiproject stated. Others guessed that Bethesda could be planning on releasing something similar to “Skyrim Together,” so it has decided to block its release on Steam. To this, user Ubbermann responded: “I mean they could see it as technically competing with ‘Elder Scrolls Online.’” Another user with the handle SexyMrSkeltal opined: “They want you to buy into ‘Elder Scrolls Online,’ with all it’s expensive DLC, expensive Expansion, expensive Subscription, expensive Microtransactions and expensive lootboxes.” It’s not like they would lose sales by having a multiplayer mod for their game (would do nothing but boost sales honestly,” one Reddit user with the handle Nok-O-Lok wrote. Some shared their opinions on what could have driven the publisher to disallow the launch of the mod on Valve’s digital distribution platform. Many fans who stumbled upon the announcement couldn’t help but wonder why Bethesda blocked the Steam release of the “Skyrim Together” mod. This won’t stop development, we’re currently working on an alternative system.” We got a response from Bethesda that this was unable to be done, we were not supplied a reason however. So we had to seek permission from Bethesda to do this. “We contacted Bethesda regarding releasing the mod via the Steam store as a mod of ‘Skyrim.’ We aren’t allowed to release the mod as a game obviously. The same message was echoed by the devs in a separate subreddit. It might sound like a trivial task but we expect thousands of concurrent players meaning we need something that scales well and that’s a complicated story.” “It will push back the dev a bit while we figure out a way to make our own party and lobby systems. However, the fact that they relied heavily on Steam APIs would mean that the release would be pushed back. Though the announcement was definitely a bummer to excited fans, the makers of the mod assured everyone that the game would still be released. One thread shared what the developers announced online, saying: “Some news guys, we have been in discussions with Bethesda and while they are fine with us releasing the mod they weren’t with us publishing the mod on Steam and we relied heavily on the Steam APIs for party and lobby systems.” The news that Bethesda blocked the Steam release of “Skyrim Together” emerged on the Skyrim subreddit this weekend. However, there’s a silver lining: The developers of the mod are still willing to make the game available to the public, but they said that it would take some time. The publisher didn’t explain why this happened. Bethesda has not allowed the release of the “Skyrim Together” mod via Steam.
