It's a shame that some studios are extremely against modding. Take for example Riot Games, I love their games but no modding support at all for League of Legends or Valorant. Considering their competition (Dota2 and CS:GO respectively) have an active community of producers and consumers of custom game content (maps, skins, game modes, etc), it's a real disappointment. I know leadership must believe the benefit isn't worth the cost, but a small part of me believes it's because the studio doesn't want to be "shown up" by the community getting excited about content they didn't make. I'm reminded of the Replay system in League of Legends. The community requested it for many years and was always told it wasn't going to happen, but once a third party releases a web app that allows you to download your previous games, suddenly the studio allocates a huge effort into getting an official version out the door.
