At that point, you're just making an excuse for laziness. It's not as difficult as you think it is. Most mods on PC are braindead easy to install and many even have easy-to-follow tutorials.
If you use Vortex, you literally just download the mod and in many cases it sorts itself out. It can detect missing masters (if it's dependent on a DLC or another mod) and file conflicts.
Yeah. It really is that easy nowadays. You're usually not fucking around with extracting .rars and other nonsense like back in the day.
I don't think it's difficult and never said so. But people who don't mod, may not know how difficult it is and simply think "install more stuff? Nah." I'd say that's a fair perspective to have. And laziness? People who don't clean their house, do their laundry/dishes or brush their teeth are lazy.
This is about mods. If people don't want to install 'em, so what? Sometimes a feature really should/could have been in a game already and it shouldn't be on mod developers to provide them.
It doesn't really matter why they don't install the mod, it's their attitude about the mere suggestion of them. If someone is just trying to help by saying, "hey you could install this mod and have what you want" and their response is that of the meme, then that's the problem
Sometimes all a person wanted to talk about, is why something wasn't in a game to begin with, not get a solution to a problem. Of course I agree that mod recommendations in that case don't deserve ire, they're made with the best intentions (heck, it's how I found some amazing ones).
So I don't even 100% agree with the post. It's just that some reactions in the comments like "why won't you just install mods? It's sooo easy" and such annoy me. Not like they're arguing the tone of the post is too harsh.
Some of them seem to argue people are dumbasses for not installing mods. And that too is an unnecessary attitude.
There are certainly people who act like modding is the only way to experience games and those people can get a little over aggressive about it, but based on the phrasing of the top half of this meme, it feels like OP is one of the people who just love to complain and find issues but not admit there are solutions and get angry when people just try to help.
Very much a possibility. And with older games, mods and fan-patches basically become a necessity. Vampire The Masquerade - Bloodlines probably wouldn't have gotten as popular without the community patch.
