Dunno about mainstream, but I was using mods as far back as Wolfenstein 3D, swapped with friends, downloaded from BBS. Mods and maps for Unreal tournament and Half Life Deathmatch were a big deal. Nvm the enormous mod community around flight simulator. And indeed Doom.
I'm sure most PC gamers knew about them before you tube was invented!

I actually avoid mods nowadays, barely have time to play the games as was intended. My only experience nowadays with mods is getting Mincraft mods to run for my kids, damn all those different versions and java memory limitations. (No different from Flight sim mods anyway, was always fun to fly half a plane when not all the assets are compatibble lol)

Anyway I'm curious what Sony exactly wants that Bethesda refuses to do. Btw did they ever fix the extreme frame rate drops when using too many pixel monitors? My awesome 240 power display ran at 1-2 fps, ruining my carefully timed blinking and flickering circuits :/

Jim seems to get it right, not from a guy who is biased towards a console and devoted their entire channel to talking about one console and branding themselves as such (Also he's a troll with his youtube video content taking constant jabs at other users as well as PC and Xbox gaming).

lol media bias, really xD

No offence taken.  

Regarding your post you were onto something until you said the xbox gets the best version.  It doesn't.  The pc does.  

And anyway doesn't fallout 4 run better on ps4? Both will likely be much better on ps pro too.  So this holiday the best console versions if you don't care about mods will be on the ps4 pro.

I'm sure the console war is going to turn over this.  I commend Sony for sticking to their policies.  They're not doing 180's left and right and they're no longer reactive.  

As a ps4 owner I expect quality control and they're giving me that.  I see farming simulator announced mod support coming to ps4. I guess that dev isn't arrogant and just get the job done.  Bethesda take note. 

Not sure if you have ever played a Bethesda game then? The mods are Quality control, they fix allot of the issues Bethesda never gets around to fixing.

Did you know there are literally game-breaking bugs in Oblivion that can occur near the end of the game that doesn't allow you to progress on the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3? If the game had mod support, that wouldn't be an issue now would it? PC gamers used mods to fix those issues.

With that said and sticking to this threads theme, Microsoft was also in the wrong for not supporting mods in other titles and deserves ridicule for that, as a PC gamer mods are a fantastic thing that allows for user-created content, which gives us more entertainment, for free.

Yeah, Sony fans can't handle a little criticism.

Ya, I agree with you, I seen amazing Sony fans be level headed, understanding, and some situations even critical, and I also seen those defend sony every single second they get, no matter the situation. 

Should I point directly at the OP, then? Ok. To edit my comment.

I see. It's good to see that nobody can't generalize in the entire site.

And I don't agree with the OP.
