![]() But it always seems like the first response is to wave their big stick, and it comes across rather hostile, especially in the case of a franchise like GTA where the modding community has thrived for years, benefitting not only the gamers, but keeping the older games alive in a way they couldn’t do on their own. I understand that these companies have a right and a responsibility to protect their brand, and that sometimes mods can go too far, or directly compete with a product the company is attempting to bring to market. So I’m always dumbfounded by some of the approaches that video game publishers decide to take when dealing with the modding community. That is by and large mostly what modding tends to be about, a community of people gathered around enjoying a game. We all spent our free time doing this because we really enjoyed the game, and adding more to it for the community. I don’t do any game modding these days, but back before I started this comic I was pretty big into skinning/modeling for Jedi Knight 2, and was part of a team that brought Jango/Boba Fett in as playable characters, as well as a couple of custom Jedi characters and some maps.
