The thing that annoys me about game companies that are against mods is, it will boost your sales, people need your game to run the mods… I’ve started playing games I normally wouldn’t go out of my way to, just because I could mod it, let me fix your game to fit my play style, I know a dragon skinned like Macho Man Randy Savage isn’t true to the story, but it is to my story.
In fact, I’d wager that they accomplish the opposite of what they claim. How many people see their reaction to mods, and decide “nah I’m not buying anything from them”
I know I do that. I’m sure others do too. So now rather than buying the game to mod, I’m avoiding anything from the company for quite some time.
Why should it matter? No, seriously, why should we give up that right? If they want to disable online features like multiplayer or leaderboards then so be it - that’s understandable. Mods drive sales and interest in the very games they’re trying to sell.

They also profit from game design that started from mods so it’s ok to take for them
The thing that annoys me about game modders is that they never seem to learn the lesson that they should just build on top of a FOSS game instead.

And people do mod FOSS games, wdym
