Absolutely. Any games company with any sense would allow modding to encourage these things. I know I would. If it encourages sales then surely it would be churlish to not give this. People have bought games because of their moddability and avoided them due to a lack of it. My suspicion is that CA are very `precious` about their game to the point that they refuse to release anything that may help modders until very late, hence why this `gesture` has been made 2 years down the line and not 3 months after release and why nothing for STW2 yet. They may not have released at all without constance modder whining.
It could also be a `convince SEGA` thing. I don`t know for sure as i`m not there.
It also explains why STW2 is still kept locked up. CA are still churlish about that. We probabaly won`t see anything for that until at least a year at the soonest.
Yet is even what we have for ETW\NTW enough?
