Does making your game moddable make it more likely to sell?

It would probably increase sales to some degree if the game is already successful, but it’s not going to make a failing game successful.

I dare you to say this at a GDC event with Bethesda developers
11 years and counting to disprove your whole statement.
Complete of so many re-releases that just make it clear beating a dead horse is deadly profitable

@op
It really depends on what the modding allows for and how well received the game is initially.

Skyrim is probably the one exception to the rule…
