I'd rather buy a product thats decent, and doesnt rely on waiting 6 months for the community to do all the dev legwork.

Yeah, no shit, that's not the point of the comparison though, goober.

and please, if you're gonna insult me, at least be more inventive at it than a grandmother from the 1950s

I'm saying that if the games just totally sucked and couldn't be modded they wouldn't be popular. Being moddable is a good thing that developers should do. When you say you'd rather have a good game that's also moddable when discussing the comparison of bad games that are moddable versus bad games that aren't moddable it comes across silly. Like, yeah, obviously I was a good game that is moddable. I also want a million dollars. We're not just having a discussion about random things we want. I'm pointing out that the fact that the games are moddable is a very good thing about the games and those modding communities wouldn't exist if it was harder to make the mods.

Also, I'm not insulting you. That's why I used a silly word to try and help it sound more light hearted.
