The thing is.. The map making community is not big enough to warrant them to care about us. We don't account for enough sales.
I don't know if they are trying to slowly kill the editor or they actually believe sp mission creator was really a fresh new inventive direction for the editor in hopes to save it. Either way, I hope they realize the mistake they have made and correct it. If not an update for this release.. At least for FC5.
I think this basically marks the end for map making on the Consoles for the near future. There will be some people who make the single player outposts, but I don't see how those will warrant enough playtime to sustain more than a single play-through. It might be fun to run trial through other people's maps, but not so much your own since you know where all the AI enemies are to start.
