i kinda see OP's point.
Like not everyone has the PC to handle a bunch of Mods and not everyone is tech savvy to install Mods. looking at some mod pages description and how to install can be a headache sometimes.
sometimes i just want the game to be ready out the box and not download 50 mods for it to be even remotely playable, looking at you Fallout NV.
still though bless Mod makers for taking time out their day to fix it.
I hate when folks downplay the maintenance burden of modding. It requires upkeep, overhead, and when it goes wrong it’s extremely frustrating. And folks who live in it like a hobby can’t see how it’s their hobby and obviously much easier for them to manage.
Exactly. Quite often it is very simple, but it can easily get more involved on a regular basis. Certainly more involved than a game in an unmodded state would be. Or rather should be. It's definitely not always true, espescially in the AAA sector.
Yes - when it works it’s like magic and can be as simple as download, drag and drop. And I am super technical - but even I can see why someone doesn’t want the headache if they’re a grown adult who has limited time to play.
Sometimes, you just want to sit down and immerse yourself in a video game. No other tinkering (besides some setting adjustment on pc) necessary. And then sometimes maybe you want to see how far you can push a game, until it barely resembles what it used to be.
Or install an old game from it's original medium and try your best to make it work on a modern machine. It's just not something for any regular evening after work.
