It's not like 'kids' stopped enjoying reading the manual on the way home from the shop - it's the publishers who decided that it would be cheaper to simply not put them in any more.
Mind you, I think EA might be missing a trick here - why not go ahead and make the manual Day One DLC?
@daan17 but you know how to spell leg. It would also help you to learn the correct version of 'their' to use. To be fair though, if I had known English was a 2nd language for you, I wouldn't have been so harsh!
I think I would buy one of these and get on board with this here party. The idea of having a device that is designed specifically with modding and user developing in mind is an awesome one. The whole Kickstarter thing is a no-go for me though - I'm not going to gamble money on something that doesn't exist yet.
