lol, they may have quantity and price, but they generally don't have quality.

There may be some really good mods out there, but for every good mod there are 100 bad ones.

And I'm not sure why you think the modding community is gone.  What modding community do you think has suddenly vanished?  The only one I can think of that's going to go is the Starcraft community, but since that's Blizzard and they can do no wrong...

Oh no they had quality too. Again, they weren't all good, but each game ahd at least one amazing mod. Sometimes even 2 or 3. That's far more than any publisher has released for any game. Some of the most successful games started off as mods infact.

As for which communities are gone. What about MW2? What about BioShock? What about ME? What about a majority of the biggest games? The last huge game that had mod support was CoD4, and that was only for the PC. UT3 showed mods works perfectly fine for consoles as well. Funny thing, all releases for UT3 from the publisher have been free, I wonder why that is.

Actually, I think software modding is illegal if it's not okayed by the publisher. I'm not sure, I just remember in my perusal of laws regarding hardware, I found that modding hardware itself is 100% legal, but modding firmware is not because modding software was illegal. Again, I'm not sure, do you know anything about this?

Haha wow, can you feel the lack of confidence in what I just typed up =)
