      Mod support backs devs into corners. And it’s unreasonable to expect all game devs to take the extra time.

      If all users stopped bitching about breaking changes, we would have different story here.

      And if users didn’t expect to have full freedom to mod multiplayer games (exploits) the whole story would be different too.

        You’re both (fundamentally) wrong. Mods don’t take time or need any extra effort. As long as developers don’t install measures attempting to prevent modification, mods.

          Like I said, the conversation would be different if users and mod creators didn’t bitch about breaking changes in game updates.

            I can’t disagree with you, Bethesda gamers are the worst about it I think, like Fallout 4 got an update recently and everyone was PISSED.

            Like just don’t accept the update or roll back, we should be happy new stuff is still happening on a decade old game.
