- nhinck2 3y agoIt throws out the traditional way of doing modding, there are still ways of making it work. Unlikely to get your nude skyrim follower mods though.
- drekipus 3y agoUntil the developer decides to not publish mods. And besides, maybe I like nude Skyrim follower mods. Who is anyone to stop that?
- yomlica8 3y agoMods extend the life of games, which means you aren't buying new games. I've don't think mods will ever be part of the cloud gaming scene. Cloud is the ultimate DRM. Need people to buy the new version of the game, even if it is worse? Remove old game from servers so they can't play it anymore.
- tredre3 3y agoModding is fun, no doubt about it. I enjoy the absurd weapons and revamped textures when I play with trusted friends. But if I had to choose between having mods or having a guaranteed cheat-free game, I know which one I'd choose and I suspect I'd be in the majority.
- TheCapeGreek 3y agoThe overlap of modding and multiplayer is small and usually for coop-ish games where cheating isn't a big deal. Most big modding scenes are for single-player games.
