They can have the meeting... and decide to just leave it alone.

Its a plus plus for them. The military comes to them for official releases. The mod community generates interest and excitement in their commerical (nonmilitary) products.

Overall I think SCS underestimation of the important of a vigourous/innovative open mod community is a mistake. Sims like Microsoft Flight (an extremely complicated sim) have prospered 2nd to an active rigour mod community that continues to create lasting power/new interest in the software.
