I can promise you SE wouldn't have allowed something to offer you an advantage to be on their game nor would they OFFICIALLY support it by adding it to the PS3/PS4 version of the game. They would allow something like a DPS meter, but something to offer advantages over people who don't/can't use it? Nope.


Far fewer people would be willing to install a third-party program if they could get those things through a first-party sanctioned channel.
Hmm...no because the officially supported addons won't offer you things that 3rd party programs do and will - For example SE will never support pos hacking, speed hacking, auto routing to nodes (basically botting) or anything to offer advantages meaning 3rd party programs will still be very much used as they'll offer what SE will not support.

Look at MMOs with add-on support, then look up how many hacks/bots exist for said MMO.

I think that SE's stance is largely because of their dedication to the Playstation platform. As long as they are supporting playstation, SE isn't going to let us have anything that could potentially give us an "edge" over them (nevermind the fact we already have one in terms of better hardware, peripherals, and interface).

It's unfortunate, but I'm not holding my breath on it unless the PC market really blows up the subscriptions and people come out in force asking for it. I'm not sure we even have the numbers tbh.
Might want to do your research - I know PC is the "Master race" and all, but they stated themselves they have the ability to implement add ons to the PS3/PS4 version, especially the PS4 version if they feel it wouldn't hurt the game balance. They stated this when they first mentioned adding add-on support.
