I know lol, not very high odds
Its funny with certain games, like the Silent Hunter games, the Total War games, etc. Those games on their own, are okay. But with the mod community they reach new unseen heights in every imaginable and unimaginable way.
I couldnt possibly play silent hunter or any total war game without the spectacular mods there are for them, yet these guys arent paid, arent hired, arent even given any attention or asked for advice by the developers.
I am absolutely convinced that the Silent Hunter series and the Total War series would have far far less sales if there wasnt any mod community for either.
And new sequels keep being made with less and less of the old features present.
