Hello, I am a graduate student at George Washington University studying modding culture.
For anyone who is interested, I have some open questions directed at modders:
1. Why do you mod?
2. Why are mods important to gaming?
3. What is the best kind of mod and why?
4. How would you describe your relationship with the original game, or the software company? (i.e. are you in cooperation with the design, fixing problems, varying choices, etc.) Where do you see yourself in the process of game-making?
5. What are the rules of what is appropriate modification? How far is too far? How important is it to be authentic the world of the game?
Any other comments you would like to make that you think would be beneficial would be greatly appreciated.
This research will contribute to a paper that may be presented at academic conferences and possibly published,
so any and all responses might be included in publication.
If you would like a copy of the finished product, please make a note in your response, as well as a way to contact you.
Thank you for your time, and hopefully for your participation.
