Might depend quite a bit on the editor - is it easy to use, how good the UI is, how powerful it is, ie. can you make good maps easily.

But you might be surprised. I've seen a good number of small titles get good modding/map making attention. Eg. Homeworld 2, WiC, Battlezone. Heck, I did quite a bit myself We have a good quality community here, plus it's a niche game that probably don't get much more content from the developer, so the motivation for something from the community is there.

So the promise part is that this information was given before the release, and some players bought the game with the expectation that we would get mod/map tools. Still it's a roadmap that could have changed if conditions changed.

No?

Even worse, the each time a tank fired it'd spam "THAT WAS CLAN GOLD!" in chat!

HPS Sims: Middle East '67
Jane's: IAF
Combat Mission: Shock Force
Conflict - Middle East Political Simulator
Also multiple mods for Steel Beasts, BF2 etc.
and by Avalon Hill, SSI etc. back in the day

Yes, those games are not what you would call best sellers are they? At best niche games I would say.

Mods dont count.

BF2 has a Middle East Coalition....
BF3 and CoD are niche?

I think Eugene could be like "damn that, we're French; we dont care what other people think"
