The mods for modern games involve making those games better for a specific audience. I've played a bunch of Stardew Valley and Minecraft mods. High-end Minecraft graphics and massive content packs make for an interesting (if buggy) experience.

On the other hand, it's completely different from the Use Map Settings games I grew up playing in Brood War, which were radically different games using Starcraft assets. DotA was literally the same thing in WC3. The game became a game engine. There's nothing like that now. (Garry's Mod?)

Roblox, I think, though it's targeted to kids and I don't know much about it.

Roblox is a scam. The biggest games in the world like csgo still allow and cekebrate modding, itself originally being a halflife mod.

In what way is Roblox a scam? Remember that most people here know very little about it.

1) It's full of pay-to-win / pay-to-play / work-to-play / work-to-not-get-paid modded servers

2) Roblox Corp does all it can to obfuscate this from parents/guardians and maintain the predatory system to benefit from a cut.
