(I am not sure if this is the correct forum for the following issue.)
I was very interested to find that EA does not allow BC2 servers that are RANKED to make very simple modifications, such as limiting kits.
I also find it curious that EA has not enabled the ability to make map MODs for BC2, (which represents a leading title for EA in this FPS category, perhaps?).
I am NOT well read in EA's business strategy, and would like to know if they have taken a turn against fan-based content development, such as was seen in BF2 (vis a vis mods, PR and so forth).
Is EA limiting the ability of fans to modifiy its games (as a general marketing strategy), or is it expanding the ability of fans to extend the life of its products through map mods and such?
Any thoughts or hard data on this?
