I would certainly be flattered if my modding program was included on an SE4 CD.

Of course, there won't *be* any more SE4 CDs - When Gold came out we were definitively told that there would be no subsequent platinum Version or anything else Version. Maybe when SEV comes out and SE4 goes budget...

However, a cool idea would be a mods & extras CD. Every 6 months or so, all the major mods, races, support programs, patches, weblinks, documents, fiction and choice shrapnel threads could be bundled up onto a CD and distributed to subscribing members of the community. No SEIV Version on the disc, just a load of "peripherals". It would save a lot of download time for those of us on dialup, and make life much easier when a re-install was necessary. (also, I wouldn't have to back all that stuff up all the time.)

Given that most or all of the content would be freeware, it would be a little odd for whoever to charge more than cost for it, but I suppose you could charge for the effort of compiling all that stuff in the first place. It sounds like a lot of work for little return though, so I doubt it would happen, but it's a nice idea=-)
