Except where companies explicitely allow them to build MODs.
In the case of Command & Conquer Generals I read that EA fails to produce a new patch for fixing exploits and weaknesses - instead, I read, they were "officially supporting" a group of MOD-Makers who were buildinmg a MOD that does just this. Fine for EA : More money saved. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" />
And, by the way, NWN is a case of its own. It's designed to do nothing else than develop MODs. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
Don't forget, the EULA is invalid under current law. The new law has banned this, regardless of what the developers says. The developer says "yes do it" and the law says "no you can't" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />...
However, if the game had no disc protection, you could legally do this, as these new laws would not be broken. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />
Faith is believing in something you know isn't true
