Yes, Iwata is just speaking for the internal teams. However, because all the other teams and second parties have a lot of oversight from the main teams (like how Miyamoto oversees all the games...), what they think carries great weight among everything the company publishes... he does have some good ideas about what is wrong, to some extent, but his "solutions" are part of the problem.
And ASM... yes, b.net is full of hackers, as are all online networks. It's part of human nature to be mean and nasty when we think we can get away with it, and the anonimity of online is part of that... Blizz tries its best to limit it, by checking for map hacks, banning hundreds of thousands of accounts that hacked, making some CD Keys unable to get on BNet if they hack multiple times... but people keep doing it... idiots... but oh well, Blizz is doing everything it possibly can, which is more than most companies do.
