I know that human nature and the "mod mentality" cannot be changed. And I'm fine with TD not wishing to be "at the beck and call of the modding community". But as exactly as one of the people you described as TD's target audience, I find that some mod contents would be great to have also in the vanilla game, and all the more so as they are only exchanging old skins for better new skins, old textures for better new textures, and the like. There might be some technical limitations involved, as I hear, but, errr, I'm a bit sceptical about this so far as I see one and the same mission loading faster and running smoother in UP+DBW than in the vanilla game...

To sum it up, I would encourage TD to incorporate external developments not only on the initiative of the maker, but to approach all those whose "stuff meets the technical requirements and does not go against the content limitations we agreed to when signing the contract with 1C".
