just 1 thing the "only a game" concept is blurred and not used much in lotta modding communities when you got ppl spending tons of hrs on it as part of their daily life routine making the goodies so it could mean a little more, it's like modding is sorta the in-between of a developer and a user. part play but also part work. my take on it anyway..

 

but,, i reckon you're on the point in this one certainly as most are moving on, so a lot of it is in the past:|
