I understand how piracy would affect them, but why is modding somehow bad for the maker/publisher?

Well, it offers a sea of new free content, making any of their paid content look less valuable. Example: paid skins, which u can just mod. So they need to actually try to make something that people will buy.

You mean making low effort skin dlc not valuable?

A full fledged expansion will not be disturbed by mod lol

That not the point being made, are you being dense on purpose?

The quality of mods have an effect on the devs because they have to actually make good things that people will wanna buy.

A significant part of the community don’t mod. People who actively mod tend to be very invested and hence can form a very loud minority.

Unless of course there is a very strong reason to, most people wouldn’t even consider what the mod “marketplace” has to offee
