I think part of the point you are missing, is that the editor comes with games based on the engine. We bought UT 2004, and got the deluxe packs with a version of Maya that works WITH their editor, and 80 HOURS ove video training. This is for a game that cost $50. Now imagine what could be offered, for something like poser that cost $200.

Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.
