I'm a huge fan off JGL and Hitrecord, they have done some really awesome stuff in the past. And the contributors and creators does get paid for their work.
I for one really thinks that there are no ulterior motives here, Ubisoft wanted to give the fans a chance to contribute and shape BGE2 to become what the players want it to be and Hitrecord is probably the best channel for this.
Too bad that didn't come across too well on stage (a Tweet from Joseph that apologizes for this).
