They've been trying to move to make their own build in mod manager and I think they want to start pay walling it or treating it like a appstore where they get a 30% cut.

Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if you could use script extenders but all the worth while mods that are not just re-skins and cheats, we need actual scripts not just .BSA files.

So I've given up on Bethesda. I'm hoping there is a future project like openmw but for skyrim special edition and people can just use that as a base game engine to do whatever with.
