But no game officially supports mods, at first. Like 99% of mods for games are made without the developer’s assistance or blessing. That’s part of being a mod developer, figuring out how to do shit. I honestly want developer’s hands off of the community

That's absolutely not true anymore. Many games support mods now, and Steam Workshop is a thing.

There's a semantic difference between "supporting mods" and "provide support for modded installations". The former is fairly common and is what steam workshop is about and is what you are talking about.

The latter is basically unheard of (for what I hope are obvious reasons).

The OP is a bit ambiguous about which of the two or is.

[–] entwine413@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

OP is only ambiguous because you don't understand what 'supporting' means in this context. Supporting mods has never meant providing customer support to make them work.

It's always meant that modders didn't have to find exploits to change the game.
