Mods invalidate DLCs, so profits are lost and the potential of the games are gone. Mods often go against the design goals of the game and can likely cause their userbase to become disinterested in playing the game.

I highly doubt the existence of community content will stop said community playing said game.

No game has ever been killed because the modding community was too active. An active modding community keeps games alive for much much longer than they normally would.
>>
>>724837785
>dlc
People won't feel the need to buy DLCs if they can get additional content for free.
>design goals
This causes the game to play wrong and not as intended.
>disinterest
By having the game not play as intended, people will lose interest as they aren't having as much fun as they would with the vanilla experience. People tend to optimise the fun out of their games, and it's important that their ability to do so gets restricted.

The modding community eats the rest of the community from the inside. You can't even imagine the potential there would've been if modding didn't existed.
>>724838139
Games are meant to be played a specific way for them to work. They don't work properly when you install QoL mods. They don't play well. You, the player, don't know better. The modders don't know better. Only the developers do.
>>
>>724838375
Potential for what? Without a madding community, there will be little reason to continue playing a game. You'll experience all the content and move on. A game with a healthy modding community, like Rimworld or Minecraft, will continue to provide countless hours of enjoyment for free with community content. As for QoL mods and the developer dick sucking, some games would be completely unplayable without them today. For example, VTMB will not run on modern computers without community patches and is frequently bundled together with a mod that adds QoL features not in the base game. Can you honestly say that people would still talk about VTMB were it not for the unofficial patches?

>>724838776
Without the modding community, people would be enjoying DLCs. There will never be a Minecraft 2 due to the modding community. These games stagnate due to the modding community. QoL features make the game worse because they are boring and dumb down the gameplay. As for VTMB, the developers could've earned money by selling a version that works on modern computers.

>>
>>724837030
It isn't.
If your game needs mods to be fun, it's a shit game.
>>
>>724838776
Additionally, modding games is a great way for inexperienced developers or coding novices to get some experience making games or trying out their ideas. These mods and modders can often times expand into full blown games, some of which become bigger than the game they were originally a mod of. They can even spark whole new genres of game, like in the case of the Battle Royale genre, the MOBA genre, the Factory Building genre, and the Survival Sandbox genre.
>>724839194
Except the developers literally could not because the studio went bankrupt and the assets redistributed soon after the game was launched. Despite this, the game gained a cult following and really only is known thanks to its modding community.

This is not an ad hominen. this is not an argument. you have a hard opinion on having fun the correct way and can not understand why other people do have fun with something you dont understand. Again, this is not an insult. Use this as a moment of reflection for when you next can't understand someone or their motives. It's fine to be autistic. But never use it as an excuse

Skyrim is probably the biggerest modding game ever and the DLC Dawnguard(i.e, Serana's tits) probably gets discussed more than the base game.
If it wasn't for modding Skyrim would've died in 2011 and pretending otherwise is a joke.

Modding is almost always over stated in what it accomplishes. Majority of the time they consist of ripping off other IPs, transplanting or stealing assets from other games/entities. "Fan" patches " are always fuck ups "restoring" content that was deliberately cut by the devs because it's not fleshed it back into the game or some fan fiction tier balancing that always breaks the game. For some reason porn mods usually end up being some of the best consistency wise.

I personally suspect most major mod teams push vapourware for crowding dollars.

For me, it's the opposite way around. I don't really understand why people would only ever play the game as intended if they would have more fun with mods - or worse still, NOT play a game because it's not what they want when mods can make it what they want, especially if their needs aren't fulfilled by other games.

- Some of the mods became the game itself. Looking at TF2, CS, League of Legeds / DOTA.
- Bigger freedom of product usage, increases longevity of product.
