The reasons for the mddoing community being so strong

[Aemilius Paulus]

Yeah, but what it worse is the fact that CA is most likely undoubtedly will turn in the direction of the History Channel and Empire Earth III... The only question now is whether the games will remain just as modable or not, so that real people can fix them.

So, why would a company NOT makes its games easily modded with little hardcodes, other than to make the game run faster? Surely history shows that the most successful games are usually also the least hardcoded? Oh, wait, CA wipes its rear end with history... Shoot, I did not think about that...
