User was warned for this post ~ CGI

You just described a portion of pc, Playstation,  Nintendo and Microsoft fans.  

Basically every platform has all types of fans.  

This is the reason why mods are not going to be present in Fallout 4 and Skyrim ( PS4 versions ):

"After months of discussion with Sony, we regret to say that while we have long been ready to offer mod support on PlayStation 4, Sony has informed us they will not approve user mods the way they should work: where users can do anything they want for either Fallout 4 or Skyrim Special Edition." - Bethesda

All I can say is good riddance. Let Microsoft handle all the bricked Xbox One's.

I think the most important thing to remember is UT3 wasn't nearly as popular as Fallout 4. So less people cared UT3 in general.

Frankly, there was complaining from Epic themselves about how little MS is allowing them to do. https://www.destructoid.com/wanna-know-why-the-xbox-360-isn-t-getting-the-titan-pack-for-ut3--122331.phtml

Last gen Sony seemed to be more accommodating to developers. I wonder what changed...

To be honest, when you are the leader like Sony is, you really do not have to have a real reason you do not want to do something.  The leader does not have to cater to every consumer needs or feel they need to seperate their product from the competition because they are the leader.  With the lead Sony has, they are in the position to do things that help profits more than cater to consumers.  I really do belive sometimes gamers forget that these are corporations and they goal is to make money.  So you can believe if Sony had a reason where it was Bethesda fault they would come out and say it because they do not want bad press.

As for the MODs, its probably a simple case where Sony does not want to spend the resource peer reviewing mods.  MS on the other hand needs to do whatever it takes to make to gain any advantage over the PS4 so they probably are willing to absorb the cost.

You just download mods from special in-game catalog. That's how mods work on xbox one

It's an issue now because technology advances all the time and we're at a point where developers are putting mods on the console. You understand UT3 was just under a decade ago, yes? And you understand how technology works and progresses? Why you would say someone didn't want something a decade ago and thus it shouldn't be a big deal now, is just nonsense.

Personally I didn't care about mods a decade ago because I wasn't into PC gaming as I am now and I sure as shit wasn't into UT3.

Also, where exactly are the "meltdowns"? It seems we have people peacefully and logically discussing this. If you need to use such hyperbole to try and make a point, maybe it's a point you shouldn't try to make :)

Lastly, as countless others have pointed out, Fallout and Skyrim are bigger and more popular games on every level than UT3 was on PS3, so that makes it a much bigger deal.

Consoles won't be bricked. Mods don't go "outside" the four walls the game is contained in.

I said this in another thread but its the same hear. Sony is the market leader. When you are the market leader you get your swag on and tell developers and publishers to fall in line. Things that goes against your other products like EA access, you can tell them to play on the other system. Paying a little extra for UHD 4K player when it would cut into your profit you say streaming is better especially if you use our service. When it comes to Mods and you have to put in a little more effort to get them working on your system, you tell the developer go back to the drawing board. This is what market dominance get you. I said this a long time ago I like it when either Sony or MS play from behind because that is when they are really for the consumer. Once any one of these companies become the market leader, well you start to see wholes in that "for the consumer" and more of that "for profit".

Sony haters seem to be quite loud on the internet. Then I go to amazon and see how Ps4Pro is #1`in sales and I just sigh at the internet.
