This is why more games should openly embrace modding.

A "we're legally not allowed to do this gameplay mechanic" writeup and let the community unofficially provide it.

There are a couple games where it's an open secret that the "community" modders were the devs

Plenty of indie games on steam that have workshop support usually have a handful of mods from a dev. Usually qol stuff or just fun things to change.

I know at least one of the factorio devs released a few mods of things that didn't really fit with being in the base game but are interesting mods, like MIRVs. But that isn't even a secret, it's published under the same name.

Pes has relied on players to recreate real teams they don't have licensing for for years
