Wait, wait, wait. 1C doesn't have the license agreement to the Editor?
The developer of Men Of war doesn't have the license agreement to the Editor of the engine that all the men of war games are built upon?

The license to release it, that's a big difference.

I might be all out and jabbing about random stuff, but if it's you're product, and you got the license for it, can't you just make a new license or something, since it's your stuff? :S

GEM Engine is the product of Best Way, not 1C.

can you not get the license to it so you can addd an editor to vietnam?

Seriously add an editor to this game and its popularity will sky rocket. and there wont be so many people complaining about it. as we will freely be able to change all the bad stuff about it within the editor.

Well can't Best Way do something about this then?

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.
