All i ever see is people these days when it comes to games with mod-able content/games is saying "Just let the modders fix it"! It seems to me that any game that has the ability to be modded has severe issues with proper QA and testing and pisspoor programming.
I feel like im just conspiracy thinking but it seems to be the mentality of these devs(and when i say these i mean industry wide not just TW) to just do barebones core programming with minimal QA then just leave it up to modders to fix and balance or to let the players be the QA. Ill use Ark for an example. This dev team does literally 1 test of their patches..."does it launch?". It doesnt matter if thier patch destroyes hundreds of hours of work. "Opps sorry" is the response if any at all. Skyrim has an unofficial fix everything patch and everything else that the devs couldnt be bothered with...same with Fallout4.
Now i know we are only in EA and TW devs have been pumping out quality patches with only a few unstable updates AND have a beta branch we can opt into to help with the whole EA bugs things so i actually have slightly more faith in this dev team than some of the others but my question still stands.
At which point did we start having more faith in random unpaid modders to fix professional gaming companies errors and why is this acceptable?
