    Yeah that logic on their part is horseshit, anyone savvy enough to mod a game that isn't mod friendly knows that if they have instability that's on them for modding in the first place. All the times I completely hosed my Skyrim install with mods, or my Cities: Skylines install with mods, I never once thought about contacting the game maker for support. So to act like across the board modding will cause a flood of support requests is dishonest.

      I killed my Cyberpunk game trying to mod it. I just changed the installation directory, re-download, and loaded from cloud save when I got sick of trying to fix it. It's so easy to recover from stuff like that nowadays.

        Exactly, if you hose your self, uninstall, delete the folder entirely and redownload. It's a cope out to point to mods as increasing demands for technical support. If handled right modding can breath longevity and extra interest in your games. Shit, some of the most popular games on the market started out as mods originally.

        Tone deaf companies will continue missing the point.
