Not all games have mod support

Not necessarily , simply because as much as people like mods it doesn't necessarily mean they don't like the official content made by the companies themselves.

Consider something being user-made doesn't necessarily mean it's all great quality. Having free user-made content doesn't mean somebody wouldn't want content from the official Developers.

One of the reasons why you see mods rare in gaming in general is based on the difficulty to make the tool set as well as control the quality of the content for example somebody playing a mod in showing the game on something like YouTube stuttering or having frame rate issues might have users interpret the entire product as being shoddy or questionable when in reality the user may not State the mods it doesn't represent the product properly to the consumer.

I feel this is one of the big reasons why many companies do not want to give development even if its user-made content to the hands of consumers if they feel it's going to miss represent the product they made.

Some companies have always been okay with it. For a long time regardless of how successful Fallout 4 mods will be you will always see hesitation and reluctance by many Publishers and developers on allowing consumers to have mod support on a game. At the end of the day it's still their game in the Publishers and developers will determine what's in their game and what's not in their game.

I know many people love using the whole DLC excuse but they need to understand that there's lots of games that don't even have DLC but also don't have mods. mods I will say are very very rare to come across in popular games.

You can exert a level of control over mods. For example, even though I doubt they would ever allow mods in CoD, they could allow mods for certain modes. Campaign multiplayer is where they would make money on DLC, so that is where mods would be disallowed.

Also, mods are already rare enough on PC. It is unlikely that they could ever replace DLC.

Have fun modding Red Dead Redemption.

The point being made is that mods are possible on consoles, limitless or not.

Some of us do know what mods are capable of, we are not primary console gamers, we play PC too, it just seems like everytime fanboy debates pop up, the modding argument shows up, I guess now it will be "well you can't do ALL the mods"

@Maxor

So now it's an argument of who gets what sooner?

Well, I hate to break it to you bud, but console gamers have been games and completing them way before the PC release.

The restrictions are so horrible that they ensure only garbage mods are available for download. Had I not know better I would check out one or two then assume that mods isn't a big deal then move on. It's basically like someone announcing that you won a world tour cruise then forcing you to stay in the bathroom for the entire trip as they locked the door and threw away the keys. This isn't a feature for the console. It's a scam. We've been had.
