Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Bethesda seems equally at fault, so their shitty pr putting all the blame on Sony is another example of that company being bad times.
I suspect a lot of the issues are that the PS4 is Sony architecture and not just an obfuscated Windows box like the Xbox One is where everything is very similar to PC mods. Making mods that would work on a PC as well as a proprietary console always seemed like a total pipe-dream really.

GerAlt-Right. Ciriously.
Sony was just pissed because Bethesda would disable trophies if they allowed use of the mods. Too many gamers would be upset. Sony couldn't allow that. It was a decision that benefitted the gamers.
Afterall, if you played the game and the trophy never popped, did you really play it?

Fallout 4 mods are just so easy to use on Xbox that this is just crazy. Welp, Skyrim on Xbox it is!

Yep because Xbox is an unstable mess that constantly goes down and gets attacked ever since allowing mods

Sony is having a hell of a week, huh?
This is a website to talk about video games.

Sony fanboy for life, but they are starting to alienate even me. No 4K blu ray on pro, not even an effort towards backwards compatibility (I know you can't do PS3, but just to try and combat microsoft you could do PS1/PS2)
Also seem to be hampering console cross play.
Now they have outright denied console mods. This isn't just for fallout but for all games that may wanna try it.
Getting cocky it seems.
I motion that we gather GAFers, FAQers, REDDITers, and any other hardcore gaming community to start a campaign. We start with mods. #MODS4PLAYSTATION

Lame. So glad this iterative console nonsense finally me made go with PC as my main and PS4 as a guess I'll keep it around for exclusive since I already have it machine.
No I'm not. It sucks this isn't happening but some posters need to step out of their emotional and opinionated bubble with no basis.
It's the same when people shit on MS and their policy regarding FF14. It sucks but outside of GAF or forum chatter no one truly cares.

Lol at people are saying "Security reasons" when the mods on XB1 have to go through a filter and approved to be put up.
Oh okay I see what you mean then. I don't know I was never against the idea but, I know exactly what you are a talking about.

I'm seriously pissed here. I've never ever said it, but this is some of that bullshit mentality coming back. I hate the stupid arrogant Sony comments, but fuck if they haven't been making some stupid ass decisions lately. This is a crock of shit. Yes, I can play on my gaming rig, but I shouldn't have to when the Xbox has had this shit for months. I'd rather use my PS4!!! Sony just made me question if I want to continue to support them for the first time ever.
There is no defending this.

Well, odds are a lot of poeple on gaff already have desktop PC's or laptops capable of runing the game (or desktops just one $150 GPU away from running the game with all the bells and whistles).
And this way you get mods for most of your games too!

If only my penis was as big as my GamerScore!
I can't help but feel like Bethesda has some blame in all of this too. It'll be interesting to find out the details on Sony's end.
Yeah, the modding community is nothing but nude mods.
Less options is always a much better way of doing things.

Arrogant Sony slowly returning.
I dunno, it just seems they've lost a lot of what made them quite likeable in 2013/14 and MS has been forced to take that place.

Yeah the reactions in here are pretty hyperbolic without knowing any of the specifics on how this feature came to not occur. I could see if you bought fallout 4 / pre-ordered skyrim for this explicit feature that you'd be reasonably pissed however.
All in all the feature always seemed like it was in the best interest solely for Bethesda. Microsoft followed along with it to add another differentiator for xbox. It always seemed like a huge undertaking for the platform holder to support it for 2 whole games, that's my guess for why Sony didn't follow suit.

No where in that post does it indicate that Bethesda is incapable of doing mods, just that they announced it before it was finalized.
Also lol @ "dev shaming"
They're not able to do mods. An important part of being able to mods is Sony saying yes.
It'd be one thing if this was "We wanted to do mods on PS4 too, but Sony said no." This is announcing mods for both platforms without confirmation that it was actually going to be allowed.
(what the fuck does "dev shaming" mean)
Pointing out market realities makes you a champion for Sony?
How many of them are actually... good, or not complete rip offs from other mod authors

With official mod support the developer intends that people can play with mods.
What a silly statement.
Edit: oh that was sarcasm, my bad. Still people actually belive that line of thinking so lol.

Doesn't matter if they know or give a shit about it. Bad buzz and word of mouth can hurt a company.
Will they even acknowledge it?

To be honest I'm not really sure they have done much post-launch that was 4ThePlayers. Just kind of riding the wave from their original announcements.
From the looks of it.
But of course people would rather jump to conclusions than look in to what the problems might be.

Wow, very disappointing
I hoped the effort Bethesda put into the mod support will spur other companies to offer similar support in other console games but I'm not sure you can now call it a success

I'm not interested in Skyrim/Fallout let alone any mods so this doesn't affect me either way. However this seems like a stupid decision on Sony's part. Bethesda wouldn't have came and outright blamed Sony for it unless it was after months of negotiations and wrangling. That statement almost reads like a PR version of a rant at Sony who they're fed up with.
Sony should have done what they can to make this possible. Forget already released Fallout and soon Remaster. Elder Scrolls VI will be huge and they're just gutting the version on their platform

You and Guymelef should get a lawyer NOW. There is a lot of money to make.
Stop it, you are not allowed to talk in rational tones here.
Heh, "Courage" is certainly going to apply to a lot of things going forward at this rate.
The only plus side to this situation is not seeing the same theft / plagarism of modders work all over again by some users who couldn't get over an authors wishes or lack of interest for Bethesda.net
