To Oleg or Luthier: 4.09 / mods question

[proton45]

The "mods" would NEVER work as a legitimate update...

The only reason people put up with the limitations (and shortcomings) of the mods is because they are an "illegal" hacked mod. People like the idea of the mods because they feel like they are making an "end run" around the "official policy". People feel like the Robbin Hood feeling... people feel like they are giving (and getting) the fixes that (big, bad corporate) Oleg is not able (or is unwilling) to give the fine and loyal customer base.

If the mods where made official and included in a patch people who become much more critical of the work that has been done... people who expect Oleg and his people to "fix" the things that are not perfect with the mods...

Trust me, everyone will be much happier all around as long as the mods are kept "illegal"...

P.S. DON'T get me wrong... many of the mods look very professional, but as I read through the message boards you can read all types of problems that people have with various mod installs and such...and we all know that their are some people that just like to nit-pick and find fault...
