The decline of mods

Game Mods

Now, the mod digest can only select one mod… Does this imply that there are fewer and fewer good mods?

i mean, we are in it’s infancy.

you can’t really expect full stuff that has no priority right now.

and, allowing players to create stuff on their own can be a landmine.

but, we’ll see.

selling buggy premium squads for weekly salary can be also a landmine

I know I’m a little late but there’s a few reasons for the decline of mods.

  1. No way to play them privately (with just a few friends) for most people. Still locked behind a paywall, which I guess is still better than not having it at all…

  2. No rewards for playing mods. They don’t give XP, they don’t give any orders - just no reason to play them at all.

  3. No reward for creating mods. Right now, all it is is a portrait (woo) only for people selected in Mods Digest (which has it’s own issues, see 4.)

  4. The Mods Digest is a pretty dumb system. They literally only pick up to 2 mods, often which aren’t “the best” recent ones. They pick them based off of user engagement, not actual mod quality. I can have a thousand plays, doesn’t mean my mod isn’t complete garbage. I could have zero plays, doesn’t mean my mod isn’t top quality. The point is, they are too lazy to actually play a selection to pick their favorites, they just hop on the top-played two to grab a couple of screenshots.

  5. Lack of Ability with Mod Editor, which has been explained already here so I won’t go in to it.
