Game developers like modding too. Just not for consoles.
That's my point. I just don't understand why they don't, it's harmless and gives more enjoyment.
With consoles, it's a little more difficult to determine whether or not those mods are used for cheating. So they just prohibit all of it, whether you mod to cheat or not.
Well I can see why they do that, but I think they are getting lazy. If they wanted to, they could design a filter that separates cheating mods from others, or only allow mods in private games, to edit a map let's say.
Either that or developers are lazy.
They don't want to end up with a repeat of Halo 2 Xbox. Everyone was matchmaking modding, and it got even easier when the 360 came out, since you didn't need to softmod and risk getting your console banned.
That's also why you can't use memory cards on the 360 for xbox 1 games, as people used memory cards to softmod the xbox 1.
Some console games do support modding like UT3 PS3, but those are a rarity.
