Reminds me of Bethesda's storefront for paid mods that they tried out for Skyrim's special edition in 2023. Hopefully they don't pull a bait-and-switch on their players and it's just a platform for free mods.

There are a lot of paid mods for the original AC, so I expect that will be part of it. However, I do think that there are two other reasons for the devs to want to host a platform of their own:

Being able to remove content ripped from other games, which will help keep them out of trouble
Giving users the option to automatically download the mods necessary to join a multiplayer game

Yeah, but requiring payment for a mod is the modder's decision for AC. For AC EVO, I'm concerned Kunos is going to make that their decision.

That needs to be taken with a grain of salt after this silent move.

I agree, although I think that they would understand how harmful a lack of mod support would be to the game. I hope they do, anyway
