"Mods can help to continue the success of the original game, even when the original game has become dated.

"Developers such as id Software, Valve Corporation, Re-Logic, Bethesda Softworks, Firaxis, Crytek, The Creative Assembly and Epic Games provide extensive tools and documentation to assist mod makers, leveraging the potential success brought in by a popular mod like Counter-Strike." Most people don't get this, though, and consequently they create nifty products and systems that ultimately fail to achieve any kind of stickiness: creations destined to be nothing but flashes in the pan."Įxcerpt from Steve Yegge's blog Modders Redemption: There are multiple complementary parallelizable exploitable ways of creating rarity. "All this is just another way of saying that rarity creates desirability. In game terms: game balance is hard, and getting it wrong can tank the economy." In high-end fashion handbag terms, counterfeit products threaten to destroy the token value.
If Billy breaks into the teacher's desk after hours and starts handing everyone fistfuls of gold stars, they become worthless and the economy collapses, irrecoverably. The statement below describes the psychology of what happens when modded gear, and duping are introduced into this virtual economy…
Games like Borderlands utilizes a system called a Token Economy (an adult version of gold stars). As of late there is a negative stigma around modding since modders have been known mostly for cheating, but just like anything in life there is a responsibility for modders to use it for good, and not evil, so go out there, and make the game better, and more exciting instead! Main cause for the negative attitude towards modding: It also allows players to create their own personalized experience, and to help make things new again. The process of modding any game is being able to transfer the game save file to a computer program in order to alter or fix any negative bugs or glitches that game developers were unable to correct or missed within the parameters of the game/program or just to make better since modders creativity is not restricted by deadlines and incorrigible co-workers. Modding Borderlands is fairly simple, and it can be more fun than playing the game alone, and it's easy to do with a few basic tools and skills!įirst and foremost, Borderlands is technically a mod itself since at the heart of the game is a modded Unreal Engine, so it feels only natural to mod Borderlands.
