Charge maybe $10-20 for it, and suddenly you dont need to be a modder to make new things, you've got a tool to help you do it.
What we, modders, have achieved with SH3-SH4 obviously goes way beyond a mere dev tools will ever do, with the exception of true SDK which is rarely seen. It goes beyond what yours simple aformentioned "dev tools" could achieve. We're doing far more than simply changing textures... anything far beyond that and you'll need to alter lots of different files hence it start to be called "modding" and it starts to get messy with auto-update systems and DRM (potentially, of course...).
You don't even know what you're talking about when it comes to modding, period. Dev tools would be used to mod games, so what the point in saying "modding is gone" then?!? Contradiction here IMO.

Using mods or EVEN MAKING them makes up for a 70% of the pleasure for a hell lot of people here if not more. No real way for me to mod a simulation? that's half the interest taken away, no buy, period.

You're nothing but an annoyance now, obstinately defending that DRM with a stubborn mind refusing to see it has but no benefits to the user, modding allowed or not! trying to sell it to us like you had benefits involved in DRM and at the expense of respect toward people, to top it off... What's the f*^$g point in acting this way??

I'm personnaly getting fed up of your blatant "you don't have broadband in 2010? you don't have money you old fart!!! get lost, you poor peasant, don't stop progress!" kind of tone
I'm really not into people that dares to almost insult people as respectable as subsim members here...
