if chrome and steam weren't eating enough of your RAM and CPU cycles of Bethesda is now rolling out its Bethesda dotnet launcher which is another games publishing tool similar to the likes of Steam Epic Games launcher Nexon launcher battlenet GOG galaxy Windows 10 store Rockstar social club and no there's one more in there at least but that's just a few of them did I say EA Origin because there's EA origin - how could we forget so that's at least 10 different software utilities that you can use just to play games and this is being rolled out it's actually believe it or not good news and I'll tell you why it's good news it is good news for the SSD market because in order to launch those 10 launchers to play your one video game that you want to play and also launch Logitech LGS Corsair qnz xdcam and video geforce experience AMD gaming evolved or raptor plays that TV or any of the other hardware software MSI Afterburner EVGA precision of the million tools you need to get use out of your gaming system you'll probably want an SSD so I guess it's good news in that regard but this Bethesda dotnet thing if it's not obvious is clearly not something I'm super excited about and that's just because it's it's another one of those why and here's the thing it's good to have competition steam should not control the entire market without real competition I definitely think that competition is good and steam is even something I was very small most scared of in the early days because I wanted to buy my games physically and install them and not have to use software to play them but that's the way the world is now that's the way PC gaming is now with validation with social tools with authentication all this stuff we kind of need these things so competition is good but does it need to come from publishers I don't know I don't know that I want to go through a publisher to play their one game that I own when I could just buy it somewhere else whether that's steam or another option and I'm thinking about it now and they're all really from publishers except for I guess GOG galaxy which is kind of a publisher because they have a very close relationship with CD Projekt RED but that's really their one tie to a major publisher other than just strictly selling and remaking the old games and here's one curiosity I have about this Beth has a net thing that I want you to all to pay attention to do you remember the paid mods Fiasco on Steam a while ago with Skyrim that kind of went away and there were a lot of reasons it didn't work out we wrote a whole big article on it it could potentially work out it's certainly not bad for these modders to make money if the game developers will enable them legally to do so but I do have a feeling that there is going to be a return of paid mods through this Bethesda dotnet launcher the fallout 4 creation kit is being rolled out through it Dec might be rolled out through it who knows if it's gonna be exclusive or not through the launcher I would certainly hope not and I wouldn't expect it would be but it is a possibility and if they do make a return to these paid mods I just hope that Bethesda does it in a way that is not as as catastrophic for the modding community as their original attempts but at the end of the day maybe the mods will fix this new Bethesda launcher so that is all for this quick news item hit the patreon like the post well video if you like this type of recap and as always a link to the description below for the website gamers nexus net thank you for watching I will see you all next time
