Maybe you should read up on the economics of multinational coporations. They only pay their taxes in the cheapest countries. They somehow magically never "earn" anything in the expensive ones.
"Would a book publisher seriously consider adding in some full page adds in the middle of a novel? Of course not, so why do they think they can get away with it games?"
This is a lame comparison.
Comercial products are *mentioned* in books often (although most writers arent paid for this), and that would be the real comparison.
Pages of ads in a book would be comparable to popups in a racing game, i.e. distraction.
So.. how are installing Windows XP going to help you driving? you get popups saying "running low on fuel" even though you have 90% left and with the default install you have a 50 ton trailer in tow behind the car that you have to diable in "control panel -> administration -> computer administration -> services" if you even know it's there! >_
This page strikes me as dumb and deliberately one sided.. and surprise: nothing everyone hasn't heard before! (except for the cheesy bad humour).
Everyone their taste, but show me some real dirt please.
yar well.. you don't mean this as a global statement? most stores in western europe accept credit cards.. i never actually go anywhere where they don't take my cards, and that's not even by choice..

"If I put in a contract that I own your firstborn child, and you sign the contract, I still don't own your firstborn child..."
