I generally don't butt in but I think I might here.
Skull I do believe you may be taking Alsbarg's messages a little wrong. I agree with pretty much everything he has said. The people who can't have something will always try to get it. I do however believe that Alsbarg you may of went a little weird at the end with the xbox comment
A general game will die roughly 80% quicker then a game that is moddable. Be honest here, who would still be playing KF if there was 0 mods out there what so ever? No one would be after 2 years max (no disrespect to TWI here, just I generally do think that their motivation is around the modders and the modders have kept this game alive for so long - definitely my favourite games company going for the past 2+ years).
In terms of exclusivity on models to retextures is a 50/50. No matter what, it has to look different and someone will want it after it's locked. I personally prefer model exclusives because it shows the company haven't done a crappy 5-10 minute job to those who supported them. Retextures have to be much more detailed and a redo of what was already there to personally show anything of time spent on it.
I will admit, Halo 3 gave it out to those who didn't earn it and TF2 is just a money grabbing whore. These do not count in the comparison to this and some other games that do exclusive content.
