Well... of course! Look at it with a bit of sympathy for the devs - they're just a small, modestly-funded little team going on very tight limits (they don't give you much to develop sims, we all know that). They have a snowball's chance in hell of competing with the mod community as we know it here - no doubt, the level of enthusiasm, creativity and dedication here is easily one of the highest in any game's mod communities. With an SDK, this game would likely be finished and quickly - and by finished I mean not only the core SHIII play, but the capabilities of the engine as a whole.
Net result? Devs can't compete. Devs won't get development money. Devs need to live on something too.
So, I would LOVE an SDK. Love love love. But I darn well know we're not getting it until SHIV at least.
That said, I'll be very pissed and feel screwed-over if there's never either an SHIV or an SDK (or both). :hmm:
