As much as I would like an SDK, I ask only one thing:
Why do you think they owe it to us?
Seriously, for an $50 commercial product, do you really believe that they find themselves obliged to provide you with their proprietary development technology, which they might just want to keep for further commercial development?
Asking them nicely, petitioning them and showing ourselves as the modders as the source of support for the game is a good thing to do and should be done. Threatening them and waving our little $50 receipt in front of them, while potentially taking away work from Devs which - whether you like it or not - made this game and continue making commercial naval sims to this day, assuring us future-proof basis for further modding like this... well, I'm sorry, but call this childish and pathetic.
