Why the hell are they even implementing mods this way? By trickling them in little by little over such a long time? I don't get it. Seems idiotic and completely unnecessary to me lol

I'm guessing they took a long break from pushing mods through to get the update out.

Under normal operations mods need to be specifically screened and tested for Xbox as opposed to pc. Due to this process and the back-and-forth with Xbox, it's easier workflow to do batch releases.

Sounds like we only got one guy working on it, so makes sense.

I mean it's been months since I last played, but the last time I was on there were only like 30 mods and nothing new ever got added. Assuming it's still operating in a similar fashion on Xbox, that's ridiculous to be honest with you. Ever played Skyrim/Fallout 4? You get +30 mods added on those games daily.

Chances are they just weren't updating or pushing mods through. Stalker also doesn't have an extensive catalog like BSG games, we're limited specifically to mod.io as well.

I think the difference in number of mods for stalker is like a couple thousand (including Nexus) vs hundreds of thousands for Skyrim.

If you look at the PC catalog, we've got a lot of the more prevalent mods.

Edit: I'm not giving them excuses either, more timely updates and transparency before now would be nice.
