Skyrim is getting a free fishing update and a new Anniversary Edition later this year
https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/skyrim-is-getting-a-free-fishing-update-and-a-new-anniversary-edition-later-this-year/
It's been almost ten years since the launch of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, and to mark the big birthday Bethesda Softworks is releasing the Skyrim Anniversary Edition on November 11—the game's actual ten-year anniversary.

That's great hopefully the anniversary is a free update on Steam. Bethesda has been given a lot of shit for Fallout 76 though their support for their games has been pretty darn awesome and how it should be done. Like I bought Quake rerelease on Steam which came out in 2007, and it received a new update yesterday (remaster) that had a lot of work done to it. Other devs would charge you again for a simple texture redo and lighting and this comes with DLC's too.

But yeah, loving Quake remaster so far. Rocket jumping at 240hz never felt so good!

We did get SSE for free from them back in 2016, so it'd make sense for them to give this as a free update.

That being said, some of those F76 updates were mostly needed updates, and I'm still (like many others on Steam forums are saying) waiting for that much needed optimisation update, because hot damn, performance be janky as hell on F76, even 2 yrs later. 

I've always believed and still hold onto it, that these sorts of updates should always remain free on PC. It was like that in the past before, some devs still do it today, so there's not really an overwhelming excuse to stop doing it (unless the game is a complete revamp and hundreds of millions were used to make it all possible, which is very unlikely, given how little some games update their texture/enviro details with their remasters). 

I just realised that I don't even own OG Quake on Steam, gotta fix that soon.

Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
