A solution for everyone!
Okay fellas, you created a game that has me waiting for each new map release like Oprah waiting for the local lunch buffet to open. Now that you have created electronic crack, its time to take some responsibility for your junkies and keep getting us our fixes. Here's the problem: I'm sure many of us do the same thing. We download the two new maps and we're done in 3-5 hours. wait?!? hunh? and miss the dopamine rush of smoking a naughty rumbler trying to steal our precious cores? (my precious!!) :p we don't want no stinkin two maps, we want 100 maps!! I'd pay $25 for 100 good maps! so whats a developer to do? well for starters, you could make larger maps maybe and be able to zoom out another level or two but the real solution is for people to be able to create their own maps! release a map editor and have people send you their best maps. you sell them on steam and get a hefty cut of each map and Steam get a hefty cut and the creator (artist) gets screwed with a paltry 3 cents per map. It could be just like the music industry where you dont have to do a thing and the musicians get jacked!! The big difference is that your customers would LOVE you for it and it would give the extra geeky devious genius types an incentive to create very challenging maps that require extra creative tactics etc. Everyone gets paid and everyone is happy. I would be thrilled to be able to buy 100 maps for $25 or so. And if a map isnt the best? not a huge deal since there's a hundred of 'em! anyway, thought I'd post my idea and see what your constituency thought. After all, a good crack dealer really needs to listen to his/her customers.
Thank you and goodnight : )

Re: A solution for everyone!
Thanks for your comments. We have many plans and ideas and it's right now about working with partners to make sure we can afford to build those ideas and projects. :) Things will happen more slowly than you (or I) would like, I'm sure, but know that we're moving forward consistantly.
