So sue me. Anyways, we've got an interesting PQ Mailbag for you this week, as there wasn't a whole lot of feedback, except for the mail on Lee'Mon's editorial. He laments on the dearth of cool, original mods for Q3A, and gives a helluva lot of background on the subject. Lee also hypothesizes as to why there aren't any cool mods yet, rounding out a fantastic editorial.
People make the mods they want to play, or that they wish to inflict upon others.
Bearing that in mind, it's probably only a matter of time before we start seeing wierd new mods that are totally different from anything that came before. Perhaps newcomers to the Quake scene may be more wont to work on completely new mods, while the old-timers who've stuck around since Quake1 days wax nostalgic over bringing back Get Rich Quake. You know what I mean. Lots of press and hype has become more important to most mod developers than actually finishing a mod. Seems like if the end result isn't an obvious large dose of fortune and fame, people don't want to risk the possibility of wasting their time.
