What will be the position of user made scenario's in this scheme?
I, personally, would like to see the method COMMAND have adopted whereby some of the known, reliable, modders have their scenarios 'adopted' - subject of course to their agreement, for inclusion as 'semi-official' scenarios which are distributed through the developers channel.
It seems to work well for them, as well as the customer, and there seems no particular reason why this could not be adopted once CO2 becomes available. I do realise that this somewhat strengthens the case for charging for the 'program upgrades' as otherwise it could be seen as supporting 'competitor' (free) products which would do nothing for the cash flow.
