Does this mean that games cant be moddable?

I don’t think modders are going to see it that way. Most people buy a game, and if it has mod support, expect that support as part of the package. We’re intending to release our base game for around $10 - a $240 a year subscription fee on top of that just to build content suddenly becomes very steep. I should also point out that future versions of the engine (and all associated documentation and tutorials) will become increasingly incompatible with ours, and that we’d be likely to make significant adjustments to the editor. In these cases people are now paying a $19 subscription for a tool that they cannot even use for modding. approach is not going to work.

Have to agree here. I can understand the ecosystem argument that is presenting, that having access to all content between games and projects would be useful. But I get the feeling that modders want to mod a specific game because they like that particular game, not because they are just interested in modding. Requiring a monthly subscription is quite a commitment for someone who wants to dabble in modding their favorite game. I guess the best response is to build in-game tools? I’m assuming those won’t fall foul of the EULA?
