Alain, I fully agree.

With a target market of creative users, this may not be the best thing to do.

At least Lego opted for the opposite approach and they apparently never looked back.

"When programmers started fooling around with the proprietary code used in the microcomputers included with Lego Mindstorms robotic kits, Lego had to decide whether they should batten down the data- hatches or invite the hackers in to play."

Runrev, in contrast, bit by bit, is erasing more and more of the L in pLay. I personally deeply regret this.
