Fallout London devs had "moments of uncertainty" whether Bethesda would let the mod live, but they know AAA studios "increasingly rely on user-generated content"

Fan developers behind the gargantuan Fallout: London expansion used to fear IP holder Bethesda's wrath, though project manager Dean Carter (Prilladog) also thinks mainstream studios keep using fan-made content to keep their AAA series healthy.

Bethesda might need Fallout: London as much as the mods' volunteer development team needs Fallout, Carter suggests while speaking to Edge magazine for its issue #422, out now. The modder says, "I do feel that the publishers increasingly rely on user-generated content, because it keeps their games alive for longer."
