Modding is a fantastic way of ‘exploration’ says Day Z creator

Modding is a great way to start the ball rolling with a project, one that allows you to explore ideas that it me not be possible to with full-games. That’s the view of Bohemia Interactive game designer Dean “Rocket” Hall, who just so happens to have created the incredibly popular Day Z mod for Arma II.

Modding give's more variety to games.

I ain't a PC Gamer, but this side of it always interested me. It's nice to see that modding is still relevant and allowed by developers. Seen a lot less of it in games lately. The videos on the GTA 5 will be a good laugh!

I love modding because companies don't have time or permission sometimes to create what hardcore gamers want. It is also what separates PC from console gaming. New consoles will have more power but still won't have mods. U hear that Sony and Microsoft?

U have to find a way to allow modding on new consoles. Its a bad economy. How about create a system in which modders can submit mods to Microsoft and Sony. Once approved, they are allowed to be downloaded or purchased. Yes, purchased. It will help out gamers, modders and make it worthwhile to corporate. Also, who knows, maybe they get hired to do concept for future games or doc content. And gamers will b lesa likely to bitch about dlc if its made by fellow gamers. The possibilities are endless.

NEVER say mods should have a price tag. The very mention of it and a big name company will cash in on it. Don't ruin it for people who have access to mods.

I do agree with you about mods but I myself would rather pay a gamer for their hard work and ingenuity than a corporation. Also, if consoles don't want to fade into obscurity, they will have to adapt, including mods and unfortunately a price tag may come with it.
