Quote:...the way that we look at it is, we really don't want people storing every single game they buy on their drive. When you buy a game, it's yours forever, so you can delete it, and go back and get it at any time you want. In a way, we liken it to putting music on your iPod; you listen to it for a while, and then you get tired of it, and you pull it off, and you put some new stuff on.
...what? Seriously? Every single sentence here is WRONG! You say you don't want people storing "every single game they buy" on the hard disk? You can't be serious. What, you want people to have to clear space and redownload games over and over again? You actually WANT that? That's stupid. And, besides that, since when is it your frickin' choice? The reality is it's just a physical limitation and now you're just trying to paint it into being a positive thing, but there's really no possible way to do that so your attempt just comes off insulting to our intelligence.
Oh by the way. No one I know who has an iPod has ever deleted any songs from one, like ever.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
