the same logic applies to dating,
why buy dinner and drinks and get all dressed up unless you get a commitment in advance that you will get great sex?
you do things in the "hope" that in the end the eventual reward will be as good as you hoped for.
you mod the game in the "hope" that you can make it much better then it is on its own.
sometimes the sex is worth it but sometimes it isnt but you still keep on trying dont you?
well sometimes the game becomes great if modded enough and thats why we keep modding games that to be honest are stinkers as released but they are still all we have so its this or nothing.
only when you have some other choice can you have any real say in product developement by giving the better company your purchase. if there is no competition then you really have no voice that will be listened to and protests will only achieve the ending of support for a game they dont think enough of to put more effort into it then they did.
thats pretty much how it is and i dont like it either but if you take the emotion out of it you can see im not taking sides here but just trying to lay it out there in plain english that it is what it is, take it or leave it.
