I can't speak for all modders, obviously, but I and a few others I knew quit modding because of the community. I don't know how it is now, but the community largely lost interest in any new projects. And after we released something, we generally only got comments such as "try harder", or "you just ripped off ___". I was also very upset by the attitude given to new modders trying to learn everything.
"Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory didn't so much have a shitty menu as it had an unskippable, like, three-minute prerendered Goddamned demo of the game you're about to play that you had to watch every single time you loaded the game. Seriously, what the fuck were they thinking."
Not really. That was really annoying, but it was loading assets while the video was playing. At a certain point, everything would be loaded and you could skip the remaining video. If you played the game, stopped, then came back an hour later, you could skip the video almost immediately.
" Call of Duty almost NEVER lowers in price except for the ultra rare sale. It's always been this way since #2.
Australian gamers: start buying cd keys that you can register on download services like Steam for much much less. http://www.cdkeysdirect.com/ I've been buying a few Aussie cd keys for a little while for lower than non-sale Steam prices, and I'm even American. $20 bucks for Cod4 and 40 for MW2. $16 for WaW. (edit: not sure if Activision has a downloader service outside of the Blizzard stuff. But the keys work online for multiplayer, which is what matters.) "
