I'm majoring in management information systems and EVERYONE is required to take a course in cobol programming. Most of the students complain about having to program such a dead language. Hopefully you are right about cobol programmers being highly paid because I'm sorry I had to endure that class... maybe thats why my friends and I called it COOL-BOL.
How is Internet or any TCP comnmunication different than a real phone, or a letter ? As far as I can tell to watch over and tap your phone or letter authroity need a special judge writing. So why suddenly Internet which is only another form of communication , is soooo different that it need to be surveyed in real time ?
The closed platform makes all the difference and makes it much much easier to make a game appear to be "polished" I don't think that PC games necessarily go through less testing; in fact most PC games go through more testing than console games, they have to. And half of the beauty of PC games is its ability to adapt and expand, example: Battlefield 1942 has been supporting the mod community from the start.
