More and more games seem to suck on thier own, but can be great with mods. You have entire platforms like roblox where all the games are more or less mods. How long until the platform itself is community created and managed and the viability of games created by companies dissappears?
I feel like mods are coming back around to the general public again but I don’t think it’ll go as far as to take over a whole platform. Not even close to that happening.
Also a lot of us didn’t stop with mods and community servers etc but with the rise of PC gaming over the past 10 years of whatever comes a whole group of people who don’t even know how to troubleshoot the basics let alone make games…
Well, AI can actually help. I used it to debug a mod conflict and it was pretty good at it. Kinda suprised me as mod conflicts are usually tricky to figure out.
