Freedom for software owners
Recently I saw Steve Jobs presenting the iPad on youtube. One of the first key features that he noticed was ability to "change backgrounds" on an iPad. Really? Backgrounds? no way ...
The other day I was really surprised by the fact that Window$ 7 Starter Edition does not allow you to change a wallpaper.. You just cannot do this. (I had to try it to let this information go through my mind and be comprehended).
Considering this and the article that Abhishek gave link to (about EA failing to compete with free and/or online games), I believe that a game (or other software) should give a user as much freedom to change it as possible. This is the only way you can compete with free/opensource software. Scripting support should be a must for any type of a game.
