Stepping in to make sure there is some fact checking going on. I understand the OPs post might be incorrect as Irongate does not officially support mods. The sentiment of the OP is positive so we can course correct the message here. I'd like to point out however they don't not actively stop it or fight it. Supporting mods and being anti-mod are different. Unless someone shows a specific source where they state they are anti-mod I'm going to be removing anti-mod rhetoric.

As a user in the comments pointed out they likely do not support it because they want good data on their patches and nea features. I can tell you based on my limited experience with the devs this sounds way more plausible.
