Microsoft just lost a checkmark

Bethesda disappointed the world last week with itsannouncementthat the PS4 versions ofSkyrimandFallout 4would not contain mod support. Not only did this give their Xbox One counterparts an edge in terms of competition, but it went back on a promise the company had made months prior. It also painted Sony as a rather bleak company focused more on profits than pleasing its fans.

Giants Software must have a green thumb, becauseFarming Simulator 2017will be launching with mod support on both Xbox One and PS4. This was confirmed through a tweet on the game’s official Twitter account.

So what does this mean for Bethesda? Did Sony make it extra hard due to adult content? I don’t really have much in the way of speculative answers, but hopefully this doesn’t completely rule out mod support from ever hittingSkyrimorFallout 4.
