Speaking only as a player if these companies wanted player input then they should pay some of the modders that made large contributions to help develop the next updated game in the franchise. This has happened in at least one game I played. This seems better than just re-rolling an old game engine which generally can never be completely updated. I am not anti-capitalist but gaming is about the only community I know where there is a true sense of civitas -- doing for other people from your own resources to show your ability and generosity and a union with them in common goals. I hate to get political but in past times in society this was how people treated each other-- people you never or hardly ever knew. I am glad that Steam removed their system and am grateful for all the efforts of all modders. Thank you.
