No, no mode. Nothing about the current UI is changing. We'll just be adding, somewhere, links to browse developers and genres in the same style as consoles. I'm currently envisioning literal "Developers" and "Genres" links under the list of consoles but that hasn't been decided yet. The developers and genres will be displayed in place of games initially. Clicking on one of them will bring you to an as of yet undesigned list of games (possibly just a sorted list like search would return or possibly the same interface but now showing games under the selected developer - I'm not sure yet as we haven't actually discussed it). As far as I'm concerned, we won't be replacing the console links with a list of developers or genres, though I suppose that could be feasible if the list is kept relatively small.
Actually, while the above was my initial plan, reading your view of what you thought I meant actually gave me an idea that apparently Dazz also had so we'll likely be going with tabs at the top of the left navigation. It will default to consoles but you can switch to developers or genres and have the game list the same way they do for consoles. We're still working on refining the specifics but we have the beginning of a plan at least.

Which is why we don't want to have 10 million developers. But either way, the planned interface will be able to handle large or small numbers without the need for infinite scrolling or dropdowns.
