Microhell is just doing what they have done for years, controlling what gamers want to play on there console, well then when M$ starts losing people from there console back to the PC to play the mods they want then they will let the mods happen just to get gamers back, wish there was more help out there to get games to run on Linux id switch in a heart beat. They should just leave it up to the consumer if they want to play the adons or not after all the consumer payed for that console and should know the risk of adding anything to the game.

Uh have you guys seen any of the mods that work on the PS3 version? I think there’s, like . . . 2. And that just might be a little generous. It’s not like UT3 modding has taken gaming by storm. In fact, it’s not like UT3 has taken gaming by storm either, the game appears to have tanked already. They should have held back and done simultaneous releases, but no, they had to stagger it (probably that big investment from Sony just to make the title not blow on the PS3), keeping XBox Live users, people who game online constantly away from this title for a longer period of time looks to have been the biggest mistake in its development yet.

I wont be getting this game now, it was too good to be true that M$ would allow mods. Sure ruins the sales of this game. If there was mods well it would be way worth it, no mods = no sales, when the PS3 version is better why get this?

This is NOT about security. That’s the same specious excuse Microsoft uses to try to shove its TPM design down PC users throats. It’s about CONTROL of content for the platform. It’s the exact same reason why XNA games must be approved to be released on XBOX Live. Microsoft doesn’t want to lose control of regulating content for its console because if it does there would be no need for content creators to pay Microsoft royalties to publish that content.

Yeah, because we’ve all seen the catastrophe that mods with UT3 caused….lol, seriously, does this guy even take a look at the industry before making such statements?

Stupid M$, mods are for everyone. Make a built-in mod system.
