Comparing a 30 hour game and a 3 hour movie as competing for the same entertainment dollars is not fair. It's like comparing Pizza and baseball gloves competing for food dollars. Someone who wants food is not going to buy baseball gloves simply because they are a better value. I don't want to buy movies. I want to buy games. I'm not going to stop buying games because I think they aren't worth it, and somehow try to satiate my appetite for games with a bunch of DVD's. I have money I allocate to spend on games and I will only spend it on games because that's what I'm interested in.
"The software firm Electronic Arts has added a fifth requirement for itself: The game must be truly original."
lol
Other company mission statements from 1983:
Mac: Our computers must run everyone's software and be affordable.
Microsoft: By 2006, all bugs and security holes must be eliminated. Also, we will open source everything.
FCC: By 2006, ABC will be required to show boobs at the top of every hour, all day long. Also, Howard Stern will host the Oscars.
You purchased stock in Company A. Company A made decision X and decision Y. Decision Y caused them to loose money. The law does not entitle you to sue company A for not making you rich. It's the inherent risk of owning stock.
In other news, I'm filing suit against the Texas State Lottery for picking the wrong numbers in last weeks drawing. I paid good money for my lottery ticket, and I have a right not to loose that money because of other people's failure to do exactly what I want.

In that case, why don't we have a pr0n section? I KNOW nerds are interested in that.
Let's invade Greenland for insulting our state religion by allowing science to accurately predict events in their country.
Please learn to differentiate typos from grammar mistakes.
Also, please learn some basic manners while you're at it.
