for me this is a main reason why the game publishers/developers should make their game as mod-friendly as possible.
a lot of companies recently discovered this, as there are games still in development and have mod´s for them already in production.
even more...the developers invited the mod-makers to use the game´s SDK.

this brings a community to a game....and a community makes more people to buy the game....

so it would be very smart for CA/SEGA to help the best modding crew´s with improved/open game code.

on the other hand, CA´s xTW engine is very advanced. so giving away the code could spawn more competitioning games....but even this might be an advantage for the gamer....competition improves products...
