people are not broke,the whole industry is a testament to that.i think i may have and be a little sanctamonious..(high horse)but people die for our western comforts and entertainments .no real figures at
hand but im sure 80% of programers and developers are players before they have that job.stop paying
money to people for really no social benafit if you wanna bitch about the way its going.these games are fun
and truly amaze me how it grew from 8 bit adventures or even earlier: punch -card computations.1880year of our lord lol.

i wouldnt be at all surprised if your dollars work their way to defense contractors pockets.lol

its simple, i like the games even if they are buggy or expensive,or both.but outside of that im sure thats
where the simplicity ends.why ive writen anything  at all here is that im sitting on about $350 worth of games i cant play because i have 2 year old pc.and i have to sell them to friends because there is no avenue
for resale:  learned from a nightclub owner that people just like to bitch and will do so even if they have a
good time while there.again ..change the situation manualy or shut up!

having read mostly all of the posts here i find im @ a loss for words.anolgy is best for these situations,but try explaing in that fasion to a person your age from the periphory..(where we get our resources at almost nothing to live the way we do) about how this and that is pissing you off.your monitary vote  is going in a balletbox(wallet)and is your way of saying im an idiot and i wanna play games at the cost of others souls

i can live with that and have no dellussions of why its a crappy game or why  small efforts are made to sway my cash vote and screw me after ive already paid.the car anolgy is off a bit too since our economy hasnt run on silicon but oil for 200+years.if it did there would be plenty of ways to trade and resell your software.

these are entertainment dollars...if dont like the way its going change your vote.

hope that helps tidy up the place
