Paid Skyrim Mod Accused of Stealing Assets
One of the first mods on sale in Valve's recently introduced paid mods program has been taken down.
Valve recently introduced paid mods to its Steam Workshop, starting first with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim for its already sprawling community.
The content in question was a fishing mod that used assets from a second mod by separate creators.
It isn't uncommon for modders to require another creator's content for their own to function, but with money in the mix, things get a tad complicated.
After accusations of stealing and unfair profits were exchanged via the Steam Workshop forums, as saved by Destructoid, the fishing mod creator took the content down and issued refunds.

Xenoblade Chronicles X Starts With All Five Continents Unlocked
The entire map of Monolith Software's upcoming Wii U-exclusive JPRG Xenoblade Chronicles X will be accessible from the start.
During today's Nintendo Direct broadcast, centered entirely around the highly anticipated JRPG, it was revealed that game's entire world, which is five times larger than its predecessor, will be unlocked right away.
Nintendo was careful to note, however, certain areas of the game's sprawling map may be home to enemies that are far too strong for you to defeat, and will kill you. As such, you'll want to explore the game's vast expanse with a bit of caution. Fortunately, you won't have to go at it completely alone, as the title features questing with up to four players online.
