It does get to a point where modding isn’t fun anymore, because it feels more like an obligation and a chore than an enjoyable creative outlet. If you’ve been active in the modding community for a few years, chances are you’ll want to take a break – or call it a day – once you’re a bit over the hobby.
I took a break because people were acting like they own me and it sort of pushed me away from modding games anymore. They don't care that we spend hours or days working on a cyberface or roster for free, they just want it to be done so they can use it already.
You should always be modding because you enjoy doing it, not because you feel you must. For people who are downloading mods, please keep in mind that modders are people with their own lives, and that modding is something they do free of charge in their spare time. Nothing accelerates burnout like being pestered about releasing work, so a bit of patience and consideration goes a long way.
Too many times, this is the case. They actually think WE (modders) work for them and treat us like we're factory workers.
They’ll often publicly quit and return several times, for the ego boost of being missed and then welcomed back enthusiastically. This isn’t the way to treat the community, and a poor way for a modder to hang it up.
The number of people who do this is too damn high. I remember this attitude happening in the 2k14 releases section where a modder goes "AFK" for 2 weeks or a month and comes back only when there's a certain number of people saying that "his work is going to be missed" or "where did he go? I thought he was going to do *insert cf request*"
