I was more joking about how social relationships built around game modding surpass capitalism at first yet very often get corrupted and dragged back by private ownership, both that which modders bring with them (a.k.a. drama) and ones tangled with some platform rights (like Bethesda’s paid mods and this CF bullshit).

Though hey, people say modrinth can filter by both game version AND mod loader. Crazy features in open-source competition.

Though I’ve stopped playing MC for now too. I feel like I can’t break away from the very same progression line in modpacks, and in vanilla there’s only so much new stuff I can experience. Sticking to my 6 years old pirated Sims 3 save currently, but I’ll probably do a more Botania+Create+Ars Nouveau focused playthrough some time later.
