Why Doesn't Ubisoft put these Modders on the payroll?

If the Mod’s can do so much in a week then why cant a seemingly professional outfit make such an arse of it

I’m dam sure the game would not end in 1943 that’s for sure if the Mod’s had started it and script the very boring interaction with the crew. What they should have done is got to the stage were they said right “ We have the look now lets get the feeling and depth into the game and nail down the nut and bolts like the Ai etc”

Having met one of the developers personally, I believe that he would have done the same thing, had he been given the chance. If they were told to produce something new, and go in such-and-such a direction, the modders would have been under exactly the same constraints. Modding is done by people who can devote the time to what they want, not to what is required of them.

Also, much of reason that the "Mod’s (sic) can do so much in a week" is because the developers intentionally made it easy for them.
