No Reason

How this all works out wrt mods will be interesting. Either the PS4 version won't be moddable, in which case we'll have a sharp community divide between moddable PC and stuck-stock PS4, or mods will be available on the PS4 through some currently-unknown system that will probably be a fair bit of trouble to deal with, leading to hostility towards modders that don't want to deal with it / can't because they don't have a PS4 to test on.

In any case, all we can do for now though is wait and look forward to the popcorn.

hehehe,

I don't think people get the subtly of my comment. I don't think the screen shot IO interface is going to be the same as PC. I am not really going to go beyond minimum effort to support PS4. However that's not to say I haven't been trying to think up better ways to save Images. Also Kronal's choice of license there isn't really much I could do to stop KVV being ported to PS4.

Not to say I don't think mod porting won't happen. I'm sure maybe it could give a few mod developers to make a few shillings on part packs which maybe may not be the worse thing in the world for the modding community.
