Yeaah right....
A diamond doesn't need sharpening, that doesn't say the diamond is better off, it can always get better.
MODDABLE means MOD ABLE
The fact that you can mod means that you can make new units and dump them on the internet. This will mean that less and less people will buy their trashy, overpriced DLC. That means less profits. CA isn't a charity, but a commercial company, this means they will maximize profits. And if mods prevent them from gaining some extra bucks they will eliminate EVERY possiblity to make mods. I won't be surprised if modders get sued in a not to distant future thanks to the rise of DLC. Activision is actively doing this RIGHT NOW. They gave a cease and disist order on a mod of King's Quest that was being developed 10 years already. That means they had to stop and just throw away their all of their hard-done labour or face a constant tide of overpayed Activision lawyer in a frequency of a Zombie Invasion because people might play this FREE mod instead of Activisions new PAYED-FOR products. Mods are hostile to their ability to make money, because they are better AND free, and that threat should be eliminated according to them.
