Why would anyone pay you? If they're willing to ignore laws and the police don't care one of them might be willing to come and destroy your equipment. Or hurt you.
Speed bumps seem like a much better solution to me.
So in summary: If you don't get what you want it's "abuse". You don't care about anyone but yourself.
Thanks! I've been thinking about creating a game. You've been very educational. Now I see what I can expect in the customer support if I start a game company.
You've obviously given this no thought from any viewpoint except your own. If a game published no new content, or no content that was any better or different than what was currently available, then people would rapidly become bored and quit. The business owners have to earn money from the game or they would just get jobs somewhere else. Of course there's going to be new and better content. Further, their model works, as evidenced by the fact you bought one of their games even after they "cheated" you of your expected reward. Look up "Rationalization" and "Sour Grapes" and see if they apply to anyone you know.
You really should use correct grammar if you're going to criticize others for their reading skills. The conversation wasn't that hard to follow. As others have pointed out his comments were intended to convey additional information about the environment for gaming in other countries.
At least there's one more old fogie out there. I have to agree but I don't think it's the language that's the problem. It's the keyboard jockeys who insist that everything has to include a pattern of some sort or it's archaic crap.
Which is why I posted my suggestion. If he's got little cash and a wired phone is cheaper the rational solution would be to get one. He almost certainly does not really need a mobile phone, he merely wants one, because it's cool and it will help him do things other than study.;)
Not a few loaded words in that reply. There are "legitimate" questions? Their lawyers think there aren't. Further, if a case could be made, why has it not been brought? Laches will come into play and it will get dismissed.
Steve is a rich guy who isn't used to having his opinions questioned. I don't work for him so I can be honest. He's being a jerk.

Good idea!
I configured the samba server and setup a windows share. You can then play your recorded shows on any pc or tv on your network.

Thanks. Out of curiosity can you provide links to the game publisher. I'd like to see what they did in more detail.
Nope, never worked for or owned a game company.

A faraday cage and a little testing and this could be definitively tested.
As Ripley said in the movies "Wow, did IQ's drop sharply while I was gone"
I can't believe you were dumb enough to admit you left the password at the default. Then you had the guts to complain about it? Wow. New levels dude.
again. Shame on you for losing them!
Do a survey of the help wanted ads. The big contenders seem to be C++, Microsoft C#, or for Java. Pick one.
I would think there would be some that would take the case for free and give you a share of whatever is collected.

I'm impressed! Whoever approved posting this you got pwned.

If you're really after low cost after about $200 use a landline. $24/month * 9 months. The phone is under $10 in the drug store electronics isle
His complaint is that the world won't jump through hoops to conform to him. CLUE BAT WHAP!

for their legal expenses. Bugger Steve Jobs and the other patent trolls.
Imagine that! Google is putting advertising in my search page! The temerity of those guys!
Why was this not tagged under "humor"?
LOL! Extra points for you!
The world is not fair, Never has been, never will be. Face up to reality and move on.
Exciting and interesting. I'm looking forward to the new series
from a weather scientist? He might be talented at meterology (and maybe he isn't) but he's not got a clue about people.
