Not the entire modding scene, and the precedent isn't exactly new since depending on the mod's contents Take 2 could probably hit with much worse.

SEGA's entire future relies on modders. They can barely make games on their own.

I can appreciate their desperation since it shows they have some kind of brain attached to their spine instead of trying to crack down on everyone.

Forgive me but I can't help but feel like that post implies they're close to acting like capcom somehow.

How would that be? If you did mean to phrase it like that.

Capcom is currently in the process of ****** all their **** up. Sega is trying to not **** their **** up like Capcom is doing with their stuff.

Funny enough, I didn't really at all care about the mods. Not that this makes it ok, but it's weird seeing so many people who are like "I ONLY BOUGHT THIS FOR THE MODDING!!!"

to my knowledge, mods are what 90% of pc users cite as the first reason to play pc games

the second thing is like playing some game with 5k vr support at 240 fps or something

What he said, mods increase the longevity and enjoyment of many games. Especially mods you can play with friends.

Which is hilarious given how few games have really active modding communities. The most you'll usually see out of a game is a patch to fix/improve a pc port or add additional fan translations like FAR for Nier: Automata, Hyperresolution Neptunia for Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1, and the most well known collection of mods to fix Dark Soul's awful PC port.

On a personal level I indulge in multiple modding communities, what would you say makes one truly active. I'd rather not bring up examples without knowing what your standard is for the sole reason that you and I are kinda the only ones talking here.

Generally an active modding community is a community that frequently creates new content, not counting basic mods like Undertale or Rivals of Aether mods that just change an mp3 into an ogg.

The players of GTAV has also gone up, so I feel take 2 and rockstar don't care too much about a few bad reviews when people are still buying their online currency.

Nah that's just what you call someone who isn't affected by singleplayer mods because they mostly play online, a mode where mods are generally banned anyway.

While that is true, the attitude of "i don't care because this doesn't affect me, but I still want to have a voice here even though it's total garbage" is baddong.

I've never found the GTA games even remotely appealing, but this still strikes me as gross abuse of IP law at best, and it totally sucks that, as usual, there's practically no chance of the law doing anything meaningful to curb such anti-consumer behavior and that, again as usual, there aren't enough consumers willing to say no to corporate ******** to hit the executives making these anti-consumer decisions where it hurts.

I don't know about anyone else, but I think a consumer bill of rights that explicitly reaffirms a person's right to modify any good they purchase is long overdue.

Wasn't that a recent supreme court decision?
