The creators of the official Oblivion remaster have nothing but goodwill for the long-awaited Skyblivion mod project.

    At the risk of being a Cyrodiil Cynic and/or Daedra Downer, I think it could be a mixture of genuine benevolence and Bethesda calculating that Skyblivion poses no real commercial threat to the Oblivion remaster at this juncture, and that being nice to the modders is great publicity

    That’s 100% what it is but I won’t let that make me less happy about it. I’ll probably end up playing Skyblivion first anyway just because I’m super broke

      Also, Skyblivion is a mod for Skyrim, so as long as it’s a legit copy, Bethesda still made money off you at some point anyway. That probably helps a bit, too.
