getting rid of mods on its own wouldn't translate into any immediate player loss (how the fuck are you gonna make your game completely unmoddable without an enormous refactor and restructure of all data? don't be dumb in your wish-fulfillment, strawman i'm addressing) but it would represent an irreparable shattering of player and community goodwill for absolutely no gain or purpose whatsoever. like, congratulations, you made some frogposters on 4chan clap, i guess. now what, since you've damaged your rapport with your players forever and you won't ever get their trust back.
