I agree users shouldn't be forced to do it. Ideally the widest
audience is reached with simplicity and the least intrusion of the
underlying technology on the game experience--which is why game
console sales are booming and resulting in overall increased revenues
in gaming.
But this game is not going to find its way to a game console and part
of its attraction is its flexibility and 'hackability'. I often saw
in game advice telling someone new to a map with the hook mod how to
install it. I am writing a Python remote server controller so I can
check status and administer my server via a GUI without the game
being invoked. When I am happy with it (too many other things
competing for my time) I'll wrap it in PyObjC with a nice GUI and not
use the console nearly as often.
