Aylana314159 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 WC taking over mods to become part of official basically guarantees they get abandoned. Just look at prim+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only would they most likely need to be re-worked to a degree to fit each system, but they would have to be re-certified every time an adjustment was needed to fit any Official changes and influences the developers may make for the game itself. And @Aylana314159is right, if they were to start taking on the mods themselves, just like with the game mode Primitive Plus and even the official mod maps that have started cracking since being added, they would most likely start to fall apart at the seems. Wildcard is more likely to care for and upkeep their own items, but once release - there is a limited window of time for which they will support new additions before abandoning them for "bigger and better" things. Sure they may passively make changes to make the playable to the slightest degree, but they do not upkeep them properly. That said, if they did decide to up their game and add "Mod Packs" approved for console use. I would be one of the first in line to try them out. Purchasable or not, I am ready for something new to play-around with. The maps are nice, don't get me wrong, but a map is merely that - a map. And once explored you are right back where you were, using the same stuff you have always used with a handful of holiday skins. To conclude, I will upvote the idea because this is a suggestion, and like the idea behind it. I honestly don't think there is a chance it will happen, but I like the idea none-the-less.

Dinobros2000 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 But because of the way console stores work they would have to BE PART of the game not just a DLC cus Xbox and PS4 can charge you for that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
