Harvest moon has not aged well, but I would add sim city

No, I understand what your saying, I just don’t believe it. Even if, (emphasis on if) Nintendo believes it as well I have no doubt that at some point console exclusivity will go away, and we will all be better off for it.

thats an example where they didn’t create something profitable for nebulous reasons at best. I’ll ask again, Show me a situation where a product was created without the expectation of profit.

So is the mouse just doing these things to kill the concept of in-app purchases, or is it just pure malice?

Odo and Garak roll around space New Orleans solving crimes. Your welcome humanity.

This may be the perfect metaphor for the rio games.

This is no different then being convicted of a DUI, losing your license and then being mad that you can’t drive.

Karma will come back around in five to ten years. It will be hard for him to get a job with hours of video of him being a jackass on the Internet.
