You need The Hunt Begins, most up-to-date patch, and the race mods for the extra races in THB.

Usually, reviewers see the movies they are reviewing.  I am too busy.
 
 
Avengers: Age of Ultron
 
This film is a re-imagining of the 1960s British spy-fi TV series.  In this gritty, noir take on the setting, an aged John Steed (Patrick Stewart) and Emma Peel (Judy Dench) have to contend with the looming specter of funding cuts and privatization.  Crass, commercial mega-corporation RonCo, headed by professional wrestler Ultimate Ron, have made a bid to buy up their agency.
 
This is a touching, poignant film with serious reflections on the role of the elderly in society.  In a refreshing departure from contemporary practice, the film had a completely satisfying finale that also completely obviates any speculation of a sequel.

Well, this was kind of funny.
 
I'd like to point out that I really do love Valve as a both a game developer and as a business, in most cases. This specific incident however, is pretty uncharacteristic, and I find it sort of incredible that a company that has had so much experience with modders and has supported modders in the past could not foresee this being a huge issue. Part of the problem is just how easy it is to fool the system, part of the problem is the amount of money valve and bethesda take home based on previously free content, but mostly it's that modding NEEDS to be separate from a paid business because of the nature of mods as a whole. Mods often use other mods as resources, often through a simple verbal agreement. Mods often do not even incorporate any new content, and instead tweak or patch existing content in a very simplistic way (which may be added to another mod). In order to maintain that environment, modders absolutely NEED to be payed through a donation system rather than being explicitly payed for content or a service, or else all of it falls apart. There are simply too many technical hiccups to overcome, especially when trying to do this with a game like Skyrim (or indeed ANY TES game), which has such an established modding system and community.

Steam's commitment to being the games delivery service the gaming community deserves, no more and no less is pretty admirable.

How much would you like to bet that the presentation for that idea included the words 'platform' and 'monetization'?

The Curators only get 25% of the money you fucking pay in the first place so you aren't really helping the mod makers.
