C7777, Because X-1 in their first add on thought (very foolishly) that it would be a good idea to also take the freeware mods and add them to their payware package as an option. This community found out and reacted with strong objection, as should be expected. But after righting the wrong or misstep they have been on a witch hunt.
X-1 released their mediocre package with only their and approved mods but many still assumed even those were stolen and ranted and foamed way beyond reason.
Still, one can understand their resentment to X-1 and this community will never have much but contempt for X-1 no matter what they do in the future.
I do see their point.
But, I also see that X-1 had downloaded the mods and was considering them as adding to their stuff when people here obtained the link and illegally downloaded X-1's stuff to prove their point. It was not proof X-1 was using it but had it and having it is not wrong but using it would be. But, they hadn't!! (Whether they would have, who knows? Some here know for sure, that you can bet on!). So they published with no unapproved mods but the resentment remains and always will.
But, notice it was OK for the do gooders to illegally DL X-1s property. The mod community is above the law!
I also understand that many do not have the time or desire to mod, edit DL etc their SH3 and Seawolves reaches many such people that want their product. It also increases the base of sub sims and supports the future of sub sims. Some are so hell bent on boycotting X-1 they would rather no new SH4 be built than allow X-1 to succeed and expand our base. I still see why they feel this way but would rather out base be expanded to insure a future game. It was reported there would be no SH4 but finally sales reached a point where they decided to do SH4, Halleluiah. Barley just barely. Did Seawolves help this? Probably not. But it did not hurt it because it went Gold and I can assure you the Mediterranean will be a big hit despite the whiners here.
Flight sim mods have had their share of similar things of that I also know.
