Skyrim....co-op!?

Well crap!

Bethesda Blocks ‘Skyrim Together’ Mod’s Steam Release.

The news that Bethesda blocked the Steam release of “Skyrim Together” emerged on the Skyrim subreddit this weekend. 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.”

Though the announcement was definitely a bummer to excited fans, the makers of the mod assured everyone that the game would still be released. However, the fact that they relied heavily on Steam APIs would mean that the release would be pushed back. “It will push back the dev a bit while we figure out a way to make our own party and lobby systems. 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.”

Guess it's still may go ahead, just not with an easy way to group up via steam.
 
Nah, wasn't too surprised either. But don't really see why they'd do it.
Sure, they could think they'd lose players from TESO, but unlikely. :rolleyes:

When this comes out, if you manage to massively mod your game to extreme levels, sync said mods up perfectly with another person and play together with all the said mods working fine with no crashes or disconnections...

Better chance convincing the Swedes to award Kim Jongles a Nobel! ;)

Took me a split second to work out what Kim Jongles was hehe. I need another cuppa tea.

Yeah, matching mods could be awkward, but not impossibubble.
