Quote:It doesn't matter where the money goes as long as I have to pay for something in order to get something else. I have to BUY PANTS in order to get a drink from a water fountain. I have to BUY one thing in order to get ANOTHER thing.
I fail to see how this counters DJ's quite logical arguement... lack of choice = lack of freedom, and a lack of freedom means something isn't free. Seems like a good train of logic there to me. And forcing you to buy certain, specific first-party titles is most certainly lack of choice.
What are you going to say next, that schools that require you to wear uniforms don't restrict your freedom either? It's a very logical extension of what you are saying...
