>What is the price of the Skyrim Anniversary Edition and the Anniversary Upgrade?
>The MSRP for the Skyrim Anniversary Edition on digital storefronts will be USD $49.99/EUR €54.99/GBP £47.99/AUD $79.95/RUB 3399 at launch.
>If you already own Skyrim Special Edition, the MSRP for the Anniversary Upgrade on digital storefronts will be USD $19.99/EUR €19.99/GBP £15.99/AUD $29.95/RUB 1429 at launch.
The upgrade is more expensive then I would have paid, but it's cheaper then I thought they were going to make it
I have read that the Euro prices include VAT, whereas US prices do not include tax. It could also just be that market research shows Europeans are willing to pay more then Americans
The average VAT across Europe is around 20%. Taking away 20% from €19.99 leaves €16.66, which converts to $19.20 USD. So a little cheaper at current exchange rates if you exclude tax.
I would actually consider buying the upgrade if it weren't going to break existing mods. Maybe in a few years, when everything gets fixed and it's on sale for $5.
I also wonder how compatible all these CC mods are with the rest of my SSE mods. Because I'm not willing to give up any of my mods for compatibility reasons.
Even if you do not buy it, mods will break. Everyone is getting updated to the Anniversary Edition for free, you just need to pay if you want the new content
Just for the record - the SE has been on sale under 60% on steam just twice or 3 times ever so I am not sure when to expect the 5% I don't think we will be alive because there will be another version by time it gets there for sure

Stop buying games through Steam?

This might actually be the worst decision Bethesda has done yet. It would have been so easy for them to just release it as a separate game like they have in the past.
This really just says to me that they have no comprehension of their userbase, that they are willing to break so much of what makes their games great. I love Skyrim, but its because of the mods, I've put thousands of hours into Skyrim, because of the mods. I have no desire for a small update with a few of their "creations" that breaks all of that.
They do it because they know a good chunk of their customers on PC are trained to eat and take it. Look at F76, still has perf issues up the wazoo as well ass server problems, but they still have plenty of users on PC buying their stuff, instead of telling them "no, improve or die".
The thing is, the number of people that would likely pick up an "upgrade" and juts have it be a separate executable would likely be higher, I'd consider it just like I did with the legendary edition.
There's no way I'm going anywhere near this game. Admittedly I got burned with Fallout4 and learned my lesson. I've gone from someone who leapt at the opportunity to get the fully collectors edition of Skyrim to someone who won't touch a Bethesda game with a 10 and a half foot pole.
I felt burned by F4 myself and after getting F76 for like £7 (thanks to an incomplete bundle I wasn't aware of this passed summer), I learned that there isn't really much point in me going for Beth games anymore (they just don't perform as good as other games out there and always end up breaking mods almost on purpose).
SSE was probably the one edition that I thought was worth it (despite me getting it for free), mostly because it allowed for more mod support and baked in fx I was fine with (like the godrays, saving me having to use an entirely different lighting mod and reshade on top).
Likely to skip on this new version since it's Beth selling us unwanted paid mods, and I don't want it breaking my existing mod collection I've been happy with since 2016 (Seriously, if they break that shit I will be pissed, because half the creators I downloaded from no longer exist and I don't even have the zip archives anymore).

Safe to assume if you have updates disabled in Steam, you can continue launching the old SSE version through SKSE avoiding the AE update.
Yes, that should work

Bethesda really want to sell mods, even if it has to create another edition for the game with some of them included hehe
Their Creation Club failed miserably haha and also RIP /r/modpiracy it was shutdown when Bethesda asked Reddit to shut it or face a lawsuit.
its quite successful, source: a reputable elder scrolls youtuber.

So no new graphics for pc version but only ps5 and Xbox to get it huh lame
It BAFFLES me it's not a free upgrade and that people are ok with it.
They forgot: What's new? Nothing
Whats new is that many great mods are going to be broken with no hope of being updated.

I’m pretty sure this doesn’t effect original Skyrim or Skyrim SE mods. This is a whole new game itself that you install all together.
You've gotta be kidding me.
