response 1: Kinect hacks aren't Hacks when MS allows such modifications to happen (the people modding dont have to hack anything), so it called Modifications.
response 2: About the whole console wars: umm hello: Nvidia v AMD(ATI), Windows v Apple. Not like PC doesn't have it share of hardware wars.
response 3: you are right, Games for Windows Live is total Shite
response 4: When it comes to Shooters, not having an mod kit is pretty bad. Really Map packs would still sell because 1. they are high quality, 2. the public servers will have them so you can always play on the map pack maps over modded ones. But long after the Map packs are gone and maps gone stale, teams of Modders keep the game fresh and interesting. Dice should try and make an mod kit for BF3 even if it came after launch, because there best game Bf2 was inspired by an mod of BF1942 and counter strike was an mod of half life, and that game is huge. So MODs can equal great sucess's for business. But they could be telling the turth when it came to the engine being too difficult. But remember it doesn't have to be Little big planet friendly.
Of Course That's Just My Opinion, I Could Be Wrong
