> I consider it the golden age of online gaming

Yeah exactly, and the golden age of modding, at least for FPS games. In a few years the engine evolves to something so advanced that only professionals can work on them. I consider HL2 the last moddable engine by the commoners. After that you gotta be a professional or someone with the patience of a saint to mod an FPS engine.

And nowadays they mostly use UE and Unity anyway. Only some of the boomer shooters are moddable.
