Nintendo Moving Past Super NES for Virtual Console?
It looks as though Nintendo might be moving its Virtual Console focus away from classic Super NES games as it works to bring more N64 games to the service.

The Natsume representative went on to explain that Virtual Console games are handled by Nintendo. "The publisher and Nintendo discuss which classic titles would be a good fit and have the best potential to sell," and the bulk of the work is handled by Nintendo.

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.
