It has been said plenty of times that the modded games are the ones that are often the most interesting. The issues though are that many players aren’t even aware that these are options, and in the case of consoles, we have to find one that is started up by PC players.
I suggest the devs find a way to host some of these mods, like the “BIG ACTION” mod as event games. Allow players to earn some rewards alongside showing off amazing content, that might help bring up some really good ideas for future play on standard games, while allowing players across ALL their systems to come and enjoy the mods.
Such as larger maps, unique equipment options, and even unique game mechanics.
