or, conversely, why bother modding a game when said, "modding" includes the manufacturer's expectation that you do the, "grunt work" for free while THEY charge YOU money for the privilege?
You should be feeling a bit, "USED" at this juncture as it certainly appears SH5, as opposed to SH3 or 4, represents a sea-change (if a pun, then intended) in Ubi's attitude toward the Subsim Community and the talented modders who do so much for nothing more than the Community's appreciation, respect, and accolades. Note use of the term, "Subsim Community," as that's key! I have NOT included Ubi as a part of this Community as it appears they see modders as nothing more than unpaid volunteer labor whom they are more than willing to exploit - while, as mentioned, they continue to charge US money for THEIR lack of effort!
Metaphorically: As soon as you send
ME money for the purchase of parts and send
ME even
MORE money for installation of those parts necessary to fix your broken Ubi car, I'll be more than happy to come over and watch
YOU buy the parts (but I'll keep the money you sent me earlier) and promise to enjoy watching
YOU installing same (but, again, I'll keep the money you sent me earlier). And, of course, I won't say, "thank you" for the bucks nor the afternoon's entertainment...
