Yea, or (for all we know) something more inherit to D. In any case it'd be very interesting to find out. I'm sure he probably will elaborate at some point, in some place, but I'm quite anxious in the meantime :) Come to think of it, I'm sure the lack of game console targets would be at least one factor. Not so sure about "employer resistance" though. *Technically*, he's just an employee, not CEO or anything (IIRC), but it's a very unique case: He's been known to have more power there than his "superiors", at least when he chooses to wield it.
