I do think Buzard has a point. It's not something I would really pin on 1C but games being developed as a whole these days. With todays technology and the size of our hard drives, they could really make some kick butt games that blow away what was made 10 years ago. Unfortunately thats not the case, games being made now have way less content then in the past, they just have the eye candy. Its all part of the new business model where content is limited or held back on purpose to fill up the coffers with DLC 2 weeks later. Again, I'm not saying that's the case here, just the trend. Men of Peace, if you or the other modders weren't able to hack together the GEM editor for this game, then I would have been forced to shelve it 2 days after purchase. Luckily, enough of us made our wishes known for the editor and 1C has responded, so kudos to 1C there. If for some reason mods couldn't have been hacked or the GEM editor wasn't coming out, I wouldn't have thought this game was worth the price. As far as replayability, I am still playing stuff that came out 10 years ago because it was chock full of content and good stuff. Just not really the case these days.
