I'm not complaining about anything. I'm pointing out the danger of letting media pile up like that. It needs to go away at some point to make room for the new, otherwise there won't be any motivation to move forward.
... to the windows launch party videos. We have the incompetent boomer with laptop, and the geeky guy... all we're lacking is the black guy and the mom.
... consumption and control are what makes it possible for me to make a living as a developer. I'm not going to make games for a device that I can't make money from.
Free is great, but what you get for free (as far as games go) tends to be kind of.... well... un-polished, ugly, and kind of broken. People working for free just can't put the effort into a title that people who can devote all their working hours can.
I haven't hit any creativity problems in iOS, and freedom is pretty pointless when you can't afford groceries.

To one of the other six classic rock stations?
...eventually accumulating into a mass of old stuff that starves out anything new. Think 'classic rock'.
Your premise has nothing to do with your conclusion. You get zero points.
...especially when you have to pay for the songs! What a ripoff!
Anybody under 50 isn't going to get any meaningful social security payout anyway. Illegals aren't special in this way.
" I have always been more concerned about the games I wont be able to play anymore than the games that are about to come out net week. "
That's the saddest thing I've read today :(

Yeesh. Who vets these things?
Preorder, and if nobody likes it, you get one free!
You've filled my batshit buzzword bingo card in 2 posts. Nice!
What people do you hang out with? Inmates at the local asylum?
If they'd quit breeding so fast, this wouldn't happen.
Weak.
The part where you pay them because you like the game.
...which makes it "not free".
That's a world view?
I'll be charitable and assume english isn't your primary language.
He considers them 'exploiters' because they exploit him. Worldview is irrelevant.
How far do you get without paying in those games?
An obvious exception.
See the use of the word "tends" in the post above.
...and I see they've already downvoted you into oblivion, as is their way when they feel threatened.

You won't be saying that when you're bleeding out of all your orifices.
Will they now share the IBM motto "Where technology goes to die"?
Oh hell... you've made me wet my... nevermind... that's Icelandic glacier water.
My point was, he wouldn't have done that if it was Wal Mart that screwed him. He would not risk trying to shoplift a replacement DVR.
Right or wrong, pushbutton fraud is one thing. Shoplifting a fair sized piece of consumer tech is quite another.
