By which you ACTUALLY mean you've got NO defense for this at all. Why must you turn every discussion about something into a debate instead about whether or not it's "worth discussing". Don't care about things, you say, stop worrying about what companies do because companies shouldn't ever be criticized.
Pay attention to the topic at hand. This is a poor and dishonest business practice, and at no point have you eve TRIED to honestly defend it. So, what's your actual opinion? All you seem capable of is criticizing the act of criticism. You're no different than countless others online who say "why do you care so much about phony psychics/Loose Change conspiracists". Well, I care because it's dishonest or wrong. That's ALL that's necessary.
(For the record, I've got a couple of games from them. I MEANT it when I said it was irrelevant, but if you MUST have an answer to the question, then YES. Now let's move on.)
"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)
