I have lived, and worked, in nine countries, including Asia, Europe, and Central America.
I might be more inclined to believe you if you didn't call Asia, Europe and Central America countries.

Why do people get caustic about a mistyped sentence?
I'm not sure I understand -- There is no way to accurately test, or there are no indicators either way? I mean, I'm sure the latter follows the former as a matter of logic, but wouldn't you say it's a bit obvious? If your tests aren't applicable because of the socioeconomic differences, can you really say that signs point to 'no'?
What's the news here? Opinion pieces are more and more often frontpage articles on Slashdot. Are a lot of people even involved in this "gamergate" thing? Is this really all the gaming nerds fighting with all the feminist gaming nerds about who is true gamers and who has the right to "own" the sphere?
How dumb is all of this? Just play games, you shutins.
Obviously, free software has teh same problems as socialism: If it is free, what is the incentive for enhancement and bettering? Why go through the trouble after your initial effort, if there is no advantage? A lot of free software comes about because of the need, or the personal interest. But once both of those are satisfied, there is no reason to enhance the program. And if it meets the usability requirements of a select few for whom the program was designed, what is the purpose of making it more usable by the general populace?
