only furthers my opinion since it takes so much effort and practice to even learn how to program, with virtually no real benefit. Having the gaming industry use it as the primary modding tool is tantamount to the idiotic "Writing Across The Classroom" tactics from primary school that had absolutely zero beneficial effect.

Oh you want to mod games? Well then you'll have to learn how to program because thats what you'll need to get a job doing it. But really anyone wanting to mod games is typically in it as a form of creative artistic expression and both their mind, and intention is somewhere else completely. Nobody gives a fuck about going through a long, tedious, and hard to understand process to be able to do something that they want to "just work right now" so they can see the results. And there really is nothing wrong with that, to folks like them and myself the game/program is an art tool, like a set of colored pencils and pens. I dont want to have to figure out how to make my pens emit ink just to be able to use them to draw something.

Which is the reason why smart designers make things similar to Garrys Mod, Map Editor SDKs, and this thing we have called Decorate from zdoom.
Like flowing water, whenever these tools become compromised by that industry ideology we just flow to something else that allows it.

If someone made a source port of Unreal Tournament or UT2k4 which added functionality like the Decorate engine (on top of, in addition to its native script) I am not the only one you would see jumping on it like a titanic lifeboat.
