I don't care about the Creation Club content, but it is time you kick up a stink about DRM-free being like a curse-word, and the fact that we don't get the modding tools, still.
The worst thing about this is that those tools have been freely available on the high seas since the game came out, and those tools work perfectly with the High Seas Release, the Steam release, AND the GOG release, and Bethesda likely knows that the Nexus and all the fixes and creations there are 99% created by pirates like me, using this exact toolset, we've fixed their games up in our skint youths, and now we've grown up, chilled out and joined GOG - and what do we get?
Punished for doing the right thing, again... GOG Skyrim and FO:3/NV come with the Creation Kit, btw. This is NOT GOG's fault!! Why Bethsoft force us out onto the stormy High Seas? :-(
At this point, piracy is fully justified on so many fronts, GOG tried to be a finger in the dam, but they just keep adding more wood and bike batteries(!) to the fire that is the gaming industry, nickel-and-diming and rent-seeking us to keep their cushy positions and huge offices while the rest of us slave in a factory for minimum wages and express themselves using pirate tools on potato PCs so the rich can Download Vortex and a 1000-mod Collection and spout about how great Bethesda games are(!) (2% game, 98% mods at that point!!)
Phew, rant over. GOG, please beat Bethesda with this while they are down about modding in general. Rent-seeking &£*@s (insert expletive here) all of them!
