There are obvious potential cons to a trigger-happy lifestyle with mods—textures breaking and forming horrendous-looking characters and other general bugs (which, even glitches are arguably enjoyable)—but I had never considered Errant Signal’s discomfort with them; namely that mods break what was supposed to be the game’s original, shared universe.

That’s always how I’ve interpreted them, too. It’s an expanded universe, with more input from a potentially infinite number of creators. Some of that will be noise, of course, but a lot will enhance the game’s experience in a way you’d never know of otherwise. And I’m reminded by that every time clips of the Thomas The Tank Engine mod comes up and I can’t help but giggle.
