Videogames have become a major part of our culture. For example would high speed connections be as popular as they are today, or would we even have high speed connections if it wasn't for videogames?

It's the power that AOL/TW could have in the future. Time Warner by itself is a huge media company. TW provides me with my cable tv service and my cable internet service. TW owns magazines with millions of subscribers such as Sports Illistrated and Time. TW also owns big book publishing companies. And now TW has access to AOL's 20 million customers and their personal data. AOL now has the same access to TW's customers. That is a whole lot of easy and free advertising. AOL/TW is in a position to increase their market share by a lot. The merger doesn't give them the power to crush competition right now but what about a few years down the road after they've capitalized on their advantage?
What is so bad about sueing spammers? Spam is annoying, it creates lag, and people who don't send it have to pay for it. I didn't check my email for a week and I got 40 spam emails. That's about 4 months worth of paper mail spam.

Did you know the whole Pokemon craze had it's start in a small Game Boy videogame?
