I applaud this, and pretty much new something was in the works when they added a mod manager with the 'gift bag'. I am thinking they may be planning a fair amount of follow up content, though maybe nothing past the map editor. I would not be surprised however if they are intended to keep their player base engaged with the game while they work on a sequel... that IS why you do post release goodies like this. I mean, either that or because you are really nice
