Then I even less understand why there's so much fuzz about it? If it's just to accept it's there, well, we wouldn't discuss here, if we didn't know, so that can't be the goal.
So, just for my slow personal understanding: Is this to advertise on the existence of the mods? Well, if that's the case, then this thread is by far the poorest way to do so IMHO.
People who are interested in modding the game won't need much help to click the various links on
www.google.de
But either way, I think it's a bad choice to discuss this HERE. IMHO this campaign is like advertising on alcohol or cigarettes on a blue-cross-site. Sure you may find some people interested, but you piss off a lot of other people (as you can see in this thread) and it's the best way to not show respect towards the people who made the game and maintain this forum. And even in Bearcats post above, intentionally or not, it's very easy to understand like "look what the mods have done, what MG didn't do for years" and that attitude won't help anybody, including mod-makers, MG, the community or BoB.
Even what you just posted, Lexx, that MG knew about the crack and didn't intervene is easily seen as a bad support for this game, incompetence from MG and 1C to handle such a situation and act accordingly. And after all the stuff that was given to us for free, is that really your message?
Again, just to make that perfectly clear: I am not against the mods themselves, but against the way it is discussed and promoted. IMHO the old words "The end justifies the means." completely backfires on the Mods, 1C and BoB the longer this discussion goes. And THAT is the only point to this discussion, because it failed on anything else, the moment this was posted on the publishers site.
