Credit where it's due: Bethesda is being admirably normal by letting modders carry on with their competing Oblivion remaster

A funny looking character in Oblivion.

If you're reading this, I'm sure I don't need to explain to you that modding and PC gaming go hand in hand. Likewise, I'm sure I don't need to explain that the lively culture of games modding has provoked an equally lively culture of IP litigation. Every year, we publish countless stories about modders finding themselves on the receiving end of DMCA takedowns from territorial licenseholders, even when the vast majority of those modders—like the creator of last month's embattled Baldur's Village mod—aren't charging a penny.

It's noteworthy, then, that Bethesda is being remarkably chill about Oblivion Remastered.
