That is something I definitely do get. From my very first DOOM WAD I recognized the power of crafting one’s own experience in a game that allowed it. But never in a million years would I have expected a subculture to arise where I would sniff my own gaming chair and call myself a god of DOOM creation because of it. This is really what I reject, because it’s no longer about the mod then, is it?
Personally I enjoy the contributions of Multigun and others, who’ve worked carefully and diligently with Funcom to ensure their mods are tip-top and in the best of ways, compliant. If it weren’t for his stellar contributions to the craft, I would still have that ingrained PlayStation “mods are bad” philosophy. I am happy to have shed it.
I’m going to merrily quote Quigley Down Under and say “Just because I don’t have any use for a thing, doesn’t mean I don’t know how to use it.”
Go easy, @Xevyr, without equivocation I am explaining why I was resistant to mods and their authors, and why that has changed over time.
