Games that you can't resell are worth less. How could anyone think this will lead to more revenue for publishers? People won't be willing to pay as high of prices for new games as they do today if there is no resale value.
For example, the market for used cars supports high new car prices. You're less hesitant to spend $30k on a new car if you can sell the car after a few years and recoup some of your investment.
They also all aired on Fox. You can be angry at Fox for mismanaging these shows, but at least the network was willing to put these types of programs into production. Which other broadcast network (not cable) takes these kinds of risks? I'll also miss Arrested Development when it gets canned but at least Fox gave us three seasons.
>Seriously, is it ok to call a hip-hop dance show "N*ggers that dance"?
The starts-with-n-epithet is definitely accepted in the hip hop community as long as you are a black person using the word. Some would consider it insulting, but most are using to reclaiming the word for themselves.
Also, Slashdot has been "New for Nerds" forever, and it is acceptable because it is nerds labeling themselves nerds.
At what point can we start blaming the people that tolerate the crusade against evolution? When can we hold this against the reasonable people who allow an organized minority to triumph? When does this become the fault of people who don't vote, who don't organize for science, who don't do anything but complain? (Like me).
