Here is the real crux. You complain that because of the worthless and problematic 1.5 version, you can't use mods with 1.4, but if 1.5 were that worthless and problematic, why would anyone make mods for 1.5?
The problem here is that many have become so terribly spoiled by the quality and content of community mods, that anything other than free is going to raise an outcry of "cheats!" and "bloodsuckers!" If the add-on were priced at $1.00, or even .50 cents, the complaints would be exactly the same. Value is not the issue.
If a real world dollar value were to be placed on many of the mods we get for free, it would probably greatly exceed the pocket change cost of 1.5. Just because we get such incredible value for free does not mean it is a good business model. |
close but not quite,
first, the mods - what is happening is that most mods are now being made for 1.5 because it changes the game so much that most mods will not work for both 1.4 or 1.5 but instead must be created in a seperate version to work in one or the other. this will result in us being "forced" to buy 1.5 to use the new mods and the community will see a drastic reduction in any mods available for 1.4.
next point - "If the add-on were priced at $1.00, or even .50 cents, the complaints would be
exactly the same. Value is not the issue." - i agree with this.
last point - i stated in an earlier post that the misunderstanding about the "patch" vs an expansion only, was cleared up and that my main "gripe" was the misrepresentation by ubi that there was a 1.5 "patch" and that it would be released soon after the ubm came out, it never happened and IMO it never will because it takes too much work.
