The things you say don't have a lot of point to them.

Darkness your last post says it all really.

Basicly you'd rather purely play a game where you couldn't ever mod it and it must be complete from the game devs, the problem with this thinking these days is that a lot of people are purely wanting a game engine to mod, they couldn't care if the devs game is good or bad it has no bearing and what some people want to do as a mod of the game engine.

Geennrally most mods arn't around because the game devs didn't make the game great, it's because people want to play different things.

HL is about a single guy trying to get out of a base that has major alien problems. This is the real game from the devs.

CS is about a team of SAS or badies trying to kill each other. This is a single mod made for the HL engine.

The two games don't relate in any way, yet you seem to think the "game" and all the mods must be related to each other other wise you wouldn't mod the game, The game is made for certain things that the game devs want and some player really do like the game as it is.

Some people how ever would rather see something else and instead of creating a game dev company etc and trying to get publishers and raise money for the company etc, they instead buy a game and slowly find out that you can mod it and they slowly work out how to do that so instead of playing the game devs game you can now play something you'd rather play yourself.

A lot of FPS games don't really intrest me because they all get boreing after a certain amount of time, but over time I now wish to mod a game engine so that I can start playing something that I would like to see FPS wise, So I have gone out a got a game purely on the basis of modding the game not to play it as the game doesn't intrest me all that much in general.

I also couldn't care less if heaps of people do or don't like the mod I intend to make as I will be make it for myself to play so, in answer to your articale I would say that you'd be somewhat wrong in general, because most mods arn't meant to fix up the orginal game devs game.

They are meant to stand up on their own merits and be it's own game, though for a mod to exist it must have a platform from wish to stand upon and that is the orginal game devs game engine, just the same as the game devs's game bits must use this game engine as a platform.
