I don't understand why everyone is so quick to bash Molyneux. They guy is a visionary and *gasp* he's as about as honest a dude as I've ever heard. He is passionate and that seems to get him in hot water.
They could have implemented some cheesy, tacked on Kinect support, but it didn't do either property justice. So, he scrapped that crap and intend (key word) to implement Kinect into Fable in the future. Could be DLC or maybe it just won't work.
I'd rather have no Kinect, than some b.s. crowbarred in "just cuz". For that, I applaud Lionhead for doing what they feel is right for their franchise and the fans.
For the record, I am getting Kinect with or with out Fable 3 supporting features and I'm getting Fable 3 with or without Kinect support. There are good reasons to own both, I think.
