Dying Light console community irrelevancy after mod tools

With mods already out for Dying Light gaining ground and a strong community on steam to keep it active for years. I expect many people will switch over to the pc just like with skyrim and other heavily mod game. It doesn't take long for mods to become popular with millions of downloads. The pc community end up overtaking their console counterparts by a lot. So how long do you expect the console version to be irrelevant?

....assuming every person who bought Dying Light on consoles own a gaming computer that can outperform their console of choice.

Proper mod support can help a PC game move a ton of copies. Publishers and devs would be wise to support them if they want to be succesful on PC.

I've read in an interview with Avalanche that they sold over 6 million copies of JC2 over time and claimed that a large percentage of the sales was due to Just Cause 2 Multiplayer mod and the numerous Steam sales.

Well I don't think the pc needs to be all that powerful to play the game

I like playing Skyrim. The mods weren't enough to make me play it again on PC.

Same with Dying Light. I completed the campaign and now am searching for more side quests and plan on getting the DLC. Still no intentions of playing on PC. It would have to be some killer mods for me to invest again.

I think I remember that interview do you have a link. They said something about how many players were still playing the pc version

No the console version became irrelevant after they announce they were developing mod tools

I'm trying to find it.

"Of course we couldn’t discuss our favorite mods for Just Cause 2 without mentioning the biggest and most ambitious mod of them all. I don't think any of us ever imagined that someone would make a multiplayer mod of Just Cause 2 while we were developing the game. I certainly didn't. But it's both amazing and humbling that people from our community spent so much time and effort on it. Taking on such a huge project is just crazy – almost as crazy as the gameplay in the mod! The popularity of the mod speaks for itself – it helped bring Just Cause 2 to new audiences, and helped keep our community thriving years beyond the initial launch. – Per Hugoson, Principal Programmer"

"The mod is absolutely fantastic,” says Avalanche CCO and Co-Founder Christofer Sundberg. “We owe those guys a lot. They have actually supported the game and helped it stay alive so many years after it was released. We don’t expect the fans to make the multiplayer for Just Cause 3, but at some point you have to make a choice on where your focus is. Our strength is the sandbox experience, and we want to deliver a great Just Cause 3 experience.”

"The mod and YouTube community kept interest in the game alive for years after launch and eventually pushed sales to more than six million units."

b..but mods ruin games and the devs vision!!11

Edit: I remember wrong about them mentioning Steam sales.

Thanks nice to know pc kept it alive all these years

I just buy console version yesterday to play with @getyeryayasout

Bought my PC version last week for the hardcore mod and get rid of that awful film grain

Well if it has tons of awesome mods why bother with the inferior version

After I finish The Order 1886 (I thought this game was short?) I will probably get Dying Light on PC. I'm going to continue my "If it's multiplat, I'm buying it on PC" for the rest of the generation probably. I may double dip here and there, but the difference is already big enough that I will try to focus on PC for multiplats. I just hope the console exclusives start picking up!

Of course games with awesome mod support live forever on PC, while console people are just waiting for the next CoD or terrible annual iteration of X game.

Purchased skyrim after playing it on ps3 and modded it to the point of being almost a different game completely in looks and in gameplay. So no longer own a console and just get pc versions so no need to do the whole double dipping.

just because the modabillity i'd say PC crushes console...

Strangely enough, the new patch that promised mod support actually made it harder to mod and broke some mods.

I suppose they are still working on decent mod tools because the modding is not that easy atm.

Cool...glad to see Dying Light seems to be "better" on PC due to mods.

Got GTA V yet?

Oh....ok.

Fixed for accuracy.

PC doesn't need GTAV to be vastly ahead of consoles, it gets more aaa/aa every year.

And dying light doesn't need mods to be better, "Anyone with a decent gaming PC should definitely stick to the computer version as it offers excellent scalability alongside further improved visuals."

Christ, the absurd level of bullshit spin that you need to perform to make mods seem negative......it's a new realm of pathetic.

Considering console's get so much fewer games and longer droughts, I'd think you guys would love mods.
