Yeah, but remember Xenonauts 2 already isn't a game you can complete in a couple of hours. If you're assuming that each mission takes only 15 mins (which is a bit of stretch once you get past the early missions) then that's still 8.75 hours for a campaign spent just on the tactical map. Realistically each campaign is an absolute minimum of 10 hours, and for a lot of people it's in the 15-20 hour region. It's already a long game, even if you win your first campaign - much longer than the first game was. However once the mod tools are out I can almost guarantee someone will immediately make a longer and expanded version of the campaign and everyone will be happy. The type of people who like Long War are a pretty small subset of the people who buy these types of games, but they're hugely overrepresented in terms of the active community and people who are interested in making mods!

The joys of being old as dirt is getting to see all the things you love crumble to dust...nobody makes games with love anymore, it's all about the cash grab. (I am by NO MEANS pointing that at GHI, btw)
