why would the game company care if you mod a game?

i mean you've already bought it and they got the profit from your purchase so why do they care?

they care because it meses with ther stuff

They don't...That's why they make Modding tools, to make it easier for you to mod..krazy-blazer

Tell that to IW who took out the capabilty of modding MW2, so that they can charge you for **** maps.

Well if you change a certain code string for MW2, it will re-activate it's inner MW1ness, but I believe you will need a hacked EXE for it.

Not sure, going by what I see on Hacker sites.

Yep, that's the money-making scheme.

However, companies like Valve, id, Epic, etc want you to mod their games. It gives a game longevity, and adds value to the game the longer it's out.

Counter Strike is still popular, but I doubt it'd be where it is without the modding community behind it. I used to LOOOOOOOOOOVE the surf, and kz climbing maps. So much fun, and there was quite a community within these mods. I'd play for hours just climbing around a map with some friends, or surfing and trying to beat people in races. So much fun.

Anyone who doesn't want you to mod their games is probably planning to milk you later for $10-$15 on some DLC. Infinity Ward for example, as already stated.
