I wouldn't call it ego (humility), so much as painful memories of how much time i sunk into that "hobby". Try sitting in a computer chair for 4 hours before work, going to work and sitting another 8, then go home and sit behind a computer some more until maybe you have 5 hours or so (sometimes less) of sleep before you get up in the morning to do your 4 hours before work shift of modding.
Do that for two or three weeks straight because your driven by a self imposed deadline and community expectations. Painful leg cramps? Check. Sleep deprivation? Check. Increased stress in my life? Check. Second unpaid job? Check. Believe me, it is VERY easy for me to stay out of modding. Ego (or lack thereof ) has little to do with it. Besides that, People can make their own mods, if they want to. But why should they when some schumck will do it for them?
