That's absolutely not true anymore. Many games support mods now, and Steam Workshop is a thing.
Steam workshop isn’t mod support. It’s a place to get mods. Mods work without developer support, always have, always will.
If no game officially supports mods, why would an entire SDK to implement them exist?? Loads of games officially support mods through Steam Workshop alone.
That's not what supporting means in this context.
It means that the devs made the game so mods could be used with it instead of modders needing to find exploits to make mods work.
There's a semantic difference between "supporting mods" and "provide support for modded installations". The former is fairly common and is what steam workshop is about and is what you are talking about.
The latter is basically unheard of (for what I hope are obvious reasons).
The OP is a bit ambiguous about which of the two or is.
OP is only ambiguous because you don't understand what 'supporting' means in this context. Supporting mods has never meant providing customer support to make them work.
It's always meant that modders didn't have to find exploits to change the game.
