I took a good look at Skyrim's Creation Club content after getting the latest release on Steam. I will, in an extremely polite manner, just say that it was underwhelming. I could accept paid mods if it was passion projects of people making DLC-sized content, such as Beyond Reach or Enderal. But that's obviously not what this is all about. It's just about further privatizing and exploiting whatever spaces of free community efforts do exist in an increasingly commodified world.
