Many players spent hours browsing through the long list and hunting for fun creations. While Far Cry in-game map editors weren’t as big as some that exist on the market, for a significant number of the older players they were central to each game’s replayability and a way to participate in the community. As a response, many fans of the franchise expressed disappointment or even shared their “no arcade = no purchase” stance. Unfortunately, developers had to announce the decision to take away this aspect of the community.
