See, last year Bethesda was all like "we want modders to get paid for their work through the steam workshop."

 

This year Bethesda be like "yoink!"

Its important to first note that the creator of the mod, Moddb, is fine with this and that techincally bethesda owns any mod made for their games under their TOS.

That being said, they could at least credit the man! They copied the setting, atmospheric theme, and story. It's so blatant that they copied it all, down to the interactions with different characters. Just read through the source. 

Except for the fact that FH must have already been in development wayyyyyy before the mod released, the dates just don't work.

if we can't make money from letting modders sell paid mods, why not just steal the mods themselves? Don't even have to pay the modder!! WIN WIN for us!

Well at least now I know of a good mod to add to New Vegas.

Bethesda isn't wrong. Bethesda is just an asshole. You gotta at least credit the guy who thought of and put the idea into a playable content.
