Let's not give developers the habit of relying on modders to finish their games. I'm tired of studios releasing half ass games

From what I understand they even fucked with the engine so much that they made modding even harder now and for whatever reason they're not releasing the mod tools any time soon so the big names aren't even trying to mod the game...

It's like they looked at what made all their previous titles popular, looked at the community, and said "nah, fuck that. What the people really want is no mod support, 6 distinct POIs, and TONS of loading screens."

Sorry to be unclear, I was being sarcastic and agree with you. The awards are rightfully based on what is actually released, which discourages this habit.

Gotcha, sadly, these are some people's sentiment regarding AAA studios. Modders are a blessing but then these companies find ways to exploit the passion of their community and fans.
