Oblivion Remasterd Deluxe Edition is reminding us all of the fall of gaming.

That's absolutely not true anymore. Many games support mods now, and Steam Workshop is a thing.

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.

Steam workshop isn’t mod support. It’s a place to get mods. Mods work without developer support, always have, always will.

But no game officially supports mods

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.

Officially none go out of their way except for maybe Ark. You will get mod capacity but not a care or officially supported mods. Make a little sense? Kind of like we the developers don't maintain or create the mods and they have nothing to do with us officially.
