Miniature mods are not worth it, especially if they can be easily reproduced.
The IL-2 Campaigns are different, those have more work put into than a simple horse-saddle, yet, I don't think they're worth it either, because IL-2 campaigns suck.
I would pay for a long OFP campaign, greatly improved Falcon campaigns or BoB:Wings of Victory, but IL-2? There's nothing in an IL-2 campaign that I couldn't have created myself, given enough time and interest, but it's not worth the hassle nor the money.
If you can't compete for content against modders, you simply don't, you quit, give up, surrender. Let them mod all they want, modded games have an increased life-span and depending on the conditions may attract different audiences. Someone may not like the stock game but will buy it to play Uber-Mod-Totally-Different 2.0.
Or does anyone believe SH3 can be played vanilla, without any mods at all?
