The boss of Capcom has insisted any buyout attempt from Microsoft would be rejected.

Everyone should be allowed to monetise mods if they wish, but should Bethesda control them?
Yes they are bad, and most of the biggest mod developers were against the idea when Steam and Bethesda tried to pull this crap in the past. Of course they did it anyway by bypassing Steam.
The basic thing here is that this isn't about modders getting paid it's about Bethesda and Microsoft getting paid.
If they cared about the modders they would add a donation system (which again was what the modders themselves wanted and Nexus mods has) and the vast majority of the money would go to the modders with the platform holders just taking a small cut to pay for the CC processing and other fees.
That is not what this will be though.
That's good we don't need anymore huge publishers purchase
Phil Spencer: getting Capcom would be another moment and I honestly believe a good move for both companies. It's just taking a long time for Capcom to see that their future exists only on Xbox hardware. A long time.... :-)
Every company wants to get bought.
you would think that with how much money M$ they would have enough resources to make quality games instead of just buying already successful studios / publishers. But I guess whats the point if they have the money to burn. Just look at all the canceled games and flops under M$'s direction in the past 10 years. I guess they were tired of being the laughing stock of the gaming industry.
