I wonder if Japanese companies not liking modding is somehow a cultural thing. I remember littlekuriboh, the guy who does the Yu-Gi-Oh abridged, mentioning that the actual Japanese creators of the show wanted nothing to do with him and his content when he met them at a con. While non-japanese people see editing official content as form of investment and passion (even if it’s a joke), the japanese mindset is that you get what you get and messing with it is disrespectful.

Much as I love abridged series and mods, I sometimes feel like there are people too invested in existing franchises that could have made something substantial if they ventured their creativity out of fan works. I’m sort of one of them - I made a lot of TF2 animations back in the day, and past a point realized for all my work I had nothing I could claim to have truly been made “from scratch”.
Not to disparage parody makers, just that I understand the sentiment.
