Default Re: seiv platinum: good idea?

The problem with doing that is that each succesive release further splinters what is an already small base to begin with. While Gold reportedly did very well, there are that small number of SEIV classic buyers who feel they "paid enough" and have no plans to buy it. An SEIV "Platinum" edition would no doubt do the same. You would end up with little Groups of people playing Versions of the game that were incompatible, unsupported and unpatchable.

I would much prefer to see Aaron continue producing patches for Gold until he feels comfortable with the end product. Hopefully the next few patches will add some more tools that modders can use. This would allow the fans to continue being creative and coming up with new and different mods for as long as we want, and allow Malfador to move on to newer and better things without having to support SEIV ad infinitum.

Of course this is just my personal opinion. I have no say in the matter.
