The thing that annoys me about game companies that are against mods is, it will boost your sales, people need your game to run the mods... I've started playing games I normally wouldn't go out of my way to, just because I could mod it, let me fix your game to fit my play style, I know a dragon skinned like Macho Man Randy Savage isn't true to the story, but it is to my story.

In fact, I'd wager that they accomplish the opposite of what they claim. How many people see their reaction to mods, and decide "nah I'm not buying anything from them"

I know I do that. I'm sure others do too. So now rather than buying the game to mod, I'm avoiding anything from the company for quite some time.

They also profit from game design that started from mods so it's ok to take for them

I feel like mods should be protected like 'right to repair'. I know that seems a bit extreme but seriously, these people devote their time to create insane content, more often than not for free. I played Oblivion for hundreds of hours just because there were sooooo many mods for it. ARK is another example.
