So what is the point of moding the game then? Why bother? Why do any of us bother? Wouldn't it be a good idea to make the game mod friendlier then? Or at least to keep that in mind?

After all from what you just wrote, what you are basically saying is, ,,thanks guys but no thanks".

So all the people who produce icons are really just being a terrible nuisance and are nothing more than hackers then? Using programmes provided (CHLANDA's SHP file editor etc) with the game but to no avail?

Thatguy 96's Vietnam mod, the Cold War 2020 mod, my mod, Plasma's work, my work, Pierre's work, Oragus' work and everyne else's is really just a waste of time. After all eventually there will, according to your logic, be no space for it at all, right? Wouldn't it make a little more sense to provide extra space for you and for everyone else too? I think that might be a very popular idea.

Oh, and that argument about modders' conflicting interests is redundant as all you have to do is copy the game files and hey presto you have a nice clean version of the game to install a mod onto. Thats why I have multiple copies of MBT and WW2 on my PC.
