Well hopefully the developers change their stance for their next game otherwise no one is going to care about it. Modding and user created content is a huge benefit for these styles of games and the only reason people are still playing Oblivion to this day... If they have any wish to compete with the likes of Sky Rim, Torchlight 2, Witcher 2 and the slew of other action rpg's coming out that are all modding friendly or have official tools then they better get with the times and evolve rather then being so anti-modding.
Sacred 2 had the same stance and look what happened to that game.
