On the top of my head, I can list Minecraft, Elder scrolls, Fallout, Factorio, Cities Skylines as modern games that have a vibrant modding community. Minecraft really helped me get a better programmer.

I strongly disagree with the point this article is trying to make, it feels like some kinds of proxy-gatekeeping (our games were so much better)

Bethesda (fallout, elder scrolls) is basically the only AAA studio that makes an effort.

I'm mostly saying that AAA games not having modding is just a big loss, especially given how this generation of games (Fortnite, Overwatch, League) are magnitudes bigger than anything before it.
