The game devs will almost certainly never catch up to what the mods offer

Mods are great if you're into that kinda thing. I'm more interested in seeing what the creators of the game have in store. Six months into EA for a game that has been in development in one way or another for nearly 10 years. Devs are about to hit their stride. they finally got the cash infusion they need to complete the vision. It doesn't really matter if you stick around to see it happen, your contribution has already made it possible. It doesn't matter if people Mod the game, the vision will still be realized.

I'm guessing, but probably sometime in 2023 or there about the game should be getting close to 1.0
