I obviously have an opinion, but I believe it's better overall for us fans to be able to click the links and follow the conversation to judge for ourselves.

No elaboration.Д«loc - the modder behind Freelancer and others - publicly ragequit on hearing the news. We just got our first substantive response:Д«asically they responded to concerns about the biggest problem keeping TC mods from happening - haphazard overuse of internal access modifiers - by saying that they're going to make the problem both worse and better on a case-by-case basis.
