I mod because I...

Wheres the option "So i can get into E3" ?

I mod because I like to see my ideas come to life. I like to modify the gameplay to be better than the original game. Sometimes I also think of something really funny or l33t and make the mod in like 5 or 10 minutes. I'm also going to collage to do computer science, so modding helps too.

@Kaos_nyrb

That would be the 'famous' option, I think ;)

For myself, it's cos I can.... and @Chunky, to me that means that I can't imagine circumstances where I would not do it. If the tech is there I'll be taking it apart and puting it back togther again to see how it works. Just because I like to know that I can. I guess you could describe it as 'enjoyment', but it's a different sort of fun than the sort of wild party fun that I usually think of as enjoyment. Both are an important part of my life, but in very different ways. That's far too much deep analysis for a moddb poll, so I'll stop now ;)

sometimes i wonder why but most the time i enjoy it.

the day someone mods for money, is the day I lose my faith in all of you

says the guy who doesnt appear to be on a team (and doesnt know how hard it can be)

lmao @ want to be rich....thats complete ********.....LOL and you definatly wont become famous, more or less you become a work o holic slave for the bossman who sits in his office watching friends episodes during work hours...you cant even claim your work as your own, its all property of the company. Sorry for the language, but unless your the president of Dice, monolith, sierra, interplay, or even activision...you wont be rich....and hell you definatly wont be famous either, trust me...Only the company name is rich and famous.

I mod because i enjoy it ;) and hopefully i can lead my team into something successful. All in all, my true passion is in conceptart and production.
The end, no one cares :)

first vote and comment for the first time!

I really Enjoy it! And I know how to do it, in other words, I can! But most pleasure!

I mod because I can. Games are my hobby, my study and my career, go figure.

2 votes for can, 1 for enjoy it, zero for everything else. It's neck and neck!

Oh NOZ we got a WANT TO BE RICH there now =O...i enjoy modding tho

Becouse modding is fun!

the day someone mods for money, is the day I lose my faith in all of you

I don't enjoy it per se, I enjoy what comes of it, and the ability to do it. I enjoy making mods, I just don't enjoy making mods, if you know what I mean. But because there is no complexity in answering, I guess I do it because I enjoy it.

Oops.

forgot to include "Looking for an industry job"

and you may as well combine "rich and "famous" into one radio button

And can I have a blend of Enjoy it / Industry job / AND rich and famous ;)

Or would that be asking for too much out of life :P

I really enjoyed modding but now I think I should put an end to it. :notice: Mod:
Takes too much time and gives no money.
But I became kinda famous!... =)

Oh crap... Wrong link.. :notice: My Mod:

But I became kinda famous!... =)

First time I've heard of you.

Oh yeah, and I mod because I enjoy it.

i "try" to mod because i want to learn i guess :O and of course i enjoy it or else i wouldnt want to learn it :D so yea funfunfun

I mod because... I dont mod?

its fo da biatches yo! i'z get all the da girlz

lol (of course I wasn't being serious)

but i want to learn, so i CAN become rich. right now i have softimage installed and i'm pretty much set. just need to learn how to use it. practice with it a little. join a team, learn some more. then make my own team. gonna take some time, but it'll happen. so if anyone could tell me the best way to learn softimage, let me know. (i am only interested in moddeling, because it is the ****). animation seems easy, so i'll learn that eventually...

well if you didn't you wouldn't, and tell me wrong. also i don't think it is good to become famous and anyway, if you did get dirty rich, no one would no your name.

i do it cuz i want moola but that probably wont happen for 20 years so i do it cuz mommy beats me at night if i dont :p

Because it's fun, satisfying, and you Can.

i enjoy it. IF I want money from it I won't make it via modding, I'll make a game to sell that has nothing to do with my modding. :)

I do it for fun and putting ideas together, but in the long run i hope for it to rake me in some cash.

cause i can

it's great experience. Helps me improve.

Why do I mod?
I mod?
w00t?
Maybe I don't mod...

"I mod because I can?" - That doesn't make much sense. I can take a crap and make shoes out of it, but I don't. No one mods because they can. There has to be a reason for them to learn it in the first place.

I dont mod :( I wish i can.

I play mods :)

not that its fame as in my name in lights, but hopefully one day ill work my way into the gaming industry

I don't, but it just doesn't seem like my thing. I love playing mods though, now thats my thing. :)

I would, but I can't. Well, I am pretty good at modelling and coding (sometimes), but I can't skin at all.

believe it or not, i actually know someone who wanted me to teach him to mod so that he can have his name on the web, in my book, thats lame and counts as a wannabee action..

i mod cuzi can and i love it, naturly you wont mod a game if you dont know how...

Well.... technically I DONT mod O_o

I mod because I enjoy it, but I am also trying to score a job in the game production industry. Showing software companies that you have helped in the development of a successful game gives you a proud feeling, at the same time giving you a better chance of getting a job that you like.

If you want to be rich and famous - modding won't get you there - nor will going into the games industry (generally, only a very few expceptions are rich and ramous). You should go into the mod and games industry because you hold a deep passion for creating your own interactive universe for others to explore, a place to realise your wildest and most creative ideas and dreams. I do it because I enjoy it, and I wish to make a career out of it.

Besides that, I really enjoy the process, and possibly most bizzarely, the best bit is the documentation! Its nice to see the community taking the creativity this entertainment industry brings so seriously. I would be saddened if the majority wanted fame and riches - you may as well be a loser Hollywood star.

I enjoy is so much, in September (providing I pass my exams), I'll hopefully be taking a 4/5 year Masters Degree in Computer Games Design (MEng). I can't wait!

Amen at that M@ty

Hmm... Why do I mod?

Is I Very Special Site From The beginning for End

I mod because I don't mod.
