LucasArts Embraces Game Mod Community

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the not-so-much-with-the-extending dept.

An anonymous reader writes "LucasArts has taken a great step in promoting the modification of their titles and supporting the communities that love them! According to this press release, LucasArts has teamed up with LFNetwork to open LucasFiles.com. The site is dedicated to all files that fall in the LucasArts realm." Given competing games like Neverwinter Nights, which have a phenomenal amount of user-created add-ons, this is a very smart move for LucasArts.

  7. The spirit of game mods was started by Rob Malda by ekrout · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda wanted a site for geek news that facilitated user discussion about recent important events in the free software world.

    Modifications of Slashdot's intrinsic features began to crop up. Rusty Foster's Scoop project turned into Kuro5hin, a site for green party members and graduate students. A bunch of Nuke-based software turned up to, such as PostNuke.

    Game mods are just like weblog software -- they facilitate community building. There's a great community of LucasArts gamers consisting of developers, game mod creators, artists, musicians, and gamers. In relation, there's a great community of weblog sites like Slashdot, Kuro5hin, Metafilter, and Monolinux.

    Don't overlook the often overlooked. Give some credit to Rob and other webloggers. That's my message, basically.

    Thanks for reading.

    Why does GNU.org's logo look like it is a gay Gnu?
