Well I see you got mixed up, no doubt the guide you read about modding was for the retail version of the game.

The electronic version will be different for a specific reason so people cant just borrow someones retail game to add this file to the electronic versions files, etc.

Yes, encrypting the data/resource file strengthens the copy protection. On the other hand, it makes the "digital download" version incompatible with the retail version and makes it impossible to be modded. I don't think it's nice...

Why do I have the feeling that your convinced I'm a pirate?

D2D and GamersGate are both distributed in the same basic manner, and one is moddable while the other (D2D) is not (however, I did recieve an email from D2D support (when I was able to actually get though) stating that it's being re-packaged for madability). There was absolutly no way of know pre-purchase at the time that the D2D version was not to be moddable, and EVERY reason to belive it would be moddable..

Besides, I've been able to use other peoples mods for the D2D game, I just can't make my own right now (D2D version).
