this seems like an important point. an added editor would be sure to cause a few more copies sold. there are PC gamers that buy games solely for the editor. and others are more likely to buy a game if an editor is available as that means the game will be kept alive with new content longer.

That's exactly my point. Even if 1C have to purchase the rights for the editor, they are bound to still make a big profit, as lets not forget this is one of the first ever Vietnam RTS games. possibly the only one to be honest. and its made with one of the greatest engines ever designed. allowing access to an editor for this game will make it Extremely popular. we may even see some classic Vietnam film moments recreated within this editor.

Unfortunately I doubt it's as easy as them asking for the license. I expect it would be very difficult. Licensing is often pretty complicated.

If the situation was that easy, I'm sure the editor will be already available. Unfortunately there is a very small chance that the editor will be released.

Why is it so difficult to get the rights to the editor?

Because such legal agreement requires certain amount of time, money and other resources like stuff.

Could you not come to a profitable agreement with best way to gain rights to the editor?
For example if they give you the rights to release the editor with vietnam and all your future men of war products best way get 10% -20% of all profits made by MOW:Vietnam and then a further 5% - 15% profit made by all future products using the GEM Engine. I'm not saying that's what you should do, I'm just using that as an example.

Obviously Best Way don't have a problem about the editor being released as they release it with their own versions...Its not like they are keeping it to themselves and don't want players to get their hands on it. I am sure if C1 wanted to, they could reach an agreement with the licence holders and it would be a win win situation for all.

[Speed3192]

Are 1C actually even trying to get an agreement with best way so that they can release the editor with Vietnam?

Owell, back to MoW:As I guess
