Why? Bethesda has a history of making games with best in class modability and the tools they release for moders are fleshed out versions of what they use for designing the game (which usually takes a few months, FO4 tool expected early 2016).
Hell, with scripting extenders and graphics mods, some of their games like Morrowind can become nearly indistinguishable from modern AAA games nearly 13 years later. Bethesda knows this and I can't imagine them locking down anything that could be used to make their games better by their community for decades to come.
Agreed. Despite the debacle with the paid skyrim mods (which I still think would be a good thing...), Bethesda definitely understands how important the modding community are to their games.
More likely that somebody writes FalloutSheep that invades privacy by dumping the inventory of anybody playing on the same network and then users demand Bethesda encrypt the data.
I've seen a lot of speeches from Executives, Presidents, Generals. Not really sure this one is that great. Not that it's bad and it's generally well put together, but nothing particularly amazing.
The fact that this is a high water mark for high-tech executive presentations is pretty embarrassing.
Can you explain what kind of tone and audience you're targeting that made you decide to keep the typo? I'm genuinely interested because the phrase does sound odd to me.
If you were to look at a teenagers phone and ask "what does this word mean, and this word, and this word." That is our audience. Example: "OMG LOL FML" (clearly you know those words, but your parents may not)
Apple actually rejected our App the first time because our marketing copy was too ridiculous. This is the more reasonable version.
Paul here. Happy to answer any questions you may have.
facebook login is annoying but did get us out the door. poor grammar is intentional.
We used to have the words "WUT" repeated 200x in the app store copy, but Apple politely told us that wasn't good enough. We had more than a couple people tell us it was great though.

Do you plan to allow for a truly anonymous registration option that doesn't require anything beyond an email address (no facebook, no scanning my contacts, no phone number)? If so, when should I look for it because that's the feature that would make me try out WUT.
Are you both the creator of WUT and the author of the original piece?
EDIT: posting too fast, so I'll just edit this post. I think you should edit your blog post with a disclaimer that you're a creator of WUT. It's not that I don't like reading about the products created by HN members (I like it a lot), but I (and I assume others) do want to know when the author has a vested interest in what he's writing about. The piece is interesting, thank you for writing and posting.
