thx for the response! much appreciated - i think we are of the same wave length so plz know that my line of questioning is just genuine curiosity and i would agree that such a business decision would be a departure larians history. that being said, i would be eager to hear larians comments on the matter - if just to reaffirm that no such issues are anticipated, but can understand if such an item is not a priority topic with the community given the ea state of the game
I know what you mean. I can't add anything that isn't already stated in the OP; just that modding will be a thing (I think... that's said without the relevant quote immediately to hand) but not before the full release happens, whenever that is. Right now they have their hands full processing feedback as well as technical reports and so on, so I would consider it very unlikely that any announcement about modding will be forthcoming for the foreseeable future. The state of things at the moment is that players can do so at their own risk but that there is no official support, neither for modding nor for games that have been modded.
