The LAST PANZER CAMPAIGNS GAME?

RE: The LAST PANZER CAMPAIGNS GAME?
"Which is the best argument I have seen to not release a map editor and have sub-standard scenarios and games on the market masquerading under the Panzer Campaigns brand."

I strongly disagree for two reasons:

First, I somehow suspect that players would be able to distinguish between scenarios and games "on the market" that they buy from Tiller and the free games created by other players, so there is no "masquerading" involved.  Many other wargames include full scenario editors, including map editors, without diluting their brands.

Second, just because players could not create the large games like in Tiller's titles does not mean that they could not create high-quality, smaller titles that could be very interesting.  For instance, while I don't see anyone creating a 200x200 hex map and accompanying scenarios, they could very well create a high-quality 20x20 hex map with a single scenario.  

A similar argument could be applied about the ability to mod the game's graphics--because players are free to mod the graphics, think of all the horrible graphics mods which could have "diluted" the Panzer Campaigns brand...and yet the exact opposite happened...the graphics modders significantly increased the game's appearance and I suppose extended its life by many years.
