i'm glad that at least the non-tourist side of the modding community has been pretty hostike towards it. i think most modding platforms have mandatory ai labels and filtering now. the modders with actual staying power are there for the love of the game so that won't be changing anytime soon

this is probably where LLMs lowering the skill floor hurts the most for me, because games are way more respected as an art form than code is; you could maybe argue nobody really cared about the craft of programming, but people definitely did for game mods because they were passionate about the games
