So how again is this different from Quake 3 Arena?
Something along the lines of doesn't support the mods of the original, doesn't support as many OSs of the original and allows Bethesda/ZeniMax to charge people for things that a modding community could add for free calling it "premium" this and "premium" that.
They'll of course have explanations for any questions about such lockdowns just like EA with SimCity and Blizzard with D3, thought the explanations won't match the reasons. Reasons they're as likely to admit to as politicians.
Guess it could all make perfect sense if you're an idiot who actually plays a restricted version of a browser based version of an old game, let alone pays for it.
It's like they've gone full circle from Quake 3 to this, only so many don't seem to realise at the end of the circle they ended with their heads up their own arse.
