Dude calm down!!
Development for console will come AFTER the PC version, which will, AGAIN, includes mods!
I'm calm. Don't know why you think otherwise.
Am I missing something here? Where was the info the ACE will have mods on console? I know it’s the case for PMR but maybe I just missed that for ACE.
Imo console may get some mods if they have official support. Kunos mentioned putting modders in contact with licence holders iirc.
And had that been what you actually said it would have been clear.
Without mods on PC, AC would not have sold close to the volume it did, and as such ACE likely wouldn't have been viable.
Nope, but mod users likely represent the vast majority of AC players.
And what percentage of AC players do you think that is?
I'm not quite sure how you managed to reach that conclusion.
Answer 1. I was pretty clear in what I said "it's irrelevant to many of us. It isn't official content, can't get it on console, many don't want to mess around with modding". See irrelevant to many of us, can't get it on console.
Answer 2. I don't doubt it. I couldn't have been more clear, mods on AC does not negate the point of ACE. I gave no opinion about what mods did or did not pave the way for.
Answer 3. Perhaps but I didn't suggest otherwise, also certainly not vast majority of console players.
Answer 4. No idea, 100% of console players though. What number of PC players that do use mods though download all the mods to the point it makes ACE pointless?
Response to your last point: it's very very easy how I came to that conclusion and I don't think I could have been clearer: modding on AC1 is irrelevant to many of us, I didn't not conclude modding is irrelevant, I did not say modding on ACE will be irrelevant. The point I always see with people who have a library of mods is: What's the point of ACE if we have mods on AC? Well the point is for those who only play on console ( and for those that only like official content ) there is very much a point to ACE. I see many comments on videos saying why bother with developing AC when we have AC mods and my answer is the point is that is a selfish view that negates 50% of AC buyers ( according to Massarutto ). The typical reply to that is buy a PC, which is not a viable solution to everyone. I'm not buying a pc to then play with a control, so I'll have to buy a rig set up which I just don't have the room currently . Moreover gaming is also about your friends and friends and I'm never gonna convince all my friends who race and chill n drive with me to buy a PC set up. I'm completely in favour of mods and hope they come to console.
TLDR: Didn't say mods are irrelevant, said mods pertaining to AC1 are irrelevant to many of us, because console...
Hope that clears it up.
