This is an EA game, why is anyone surprised that this doesn't support mods? EA don't want a community of dedicated fans who enjoy their games, keep their games alive for years after release, expand the game beyond the original scope, add new ideas and polish it to a mirror finish. What publisher wants that?
EA game development cycle:
- Develop game
- Remove 10% from game
- Sell game
- Sell previously removed 10% in 5x 2% increments
- Develop same game again with new maps, increment number on box
- Repeat Steps 2-5
Skyrim has a great modding community and the professional DLC still sells by the boatload. By keeping their games off Steam and not giving us toolsets, they're hurting themselves more than us.
