You are confusing physical property rights with intellectual property rights.

... having the features I wanted being torn away by an angry mob...

Please, grow a sense of humor. It would help you a lot

I won't deny that right now, the ouya is basically a niche console, one designed primarily for indie developers and diehard console indie lovers who don't really care about the Wii U, Xbox One or PS4's new hardware capabilities. It is an experiment, one that does needs to improve a lot of things first before it could…

I think a lot of people here miss the point behind the concept of the system.

This ramen is her rapists

Considering that the Revolution's name chaneg to Wii was not made or announced until 2006, this hypothesis seems highly doubtful. What seems more likely in my judgement is that WIIU is a acronym for something else, and that was what was being registered in 2004.

But at the same time, being an atheist doesn't mean that you don't think religion is harmful.

More like a finger to the chest asking you why the hell you resign yourself to misery when you can do something about it.

Perhaps that is the assumption to which you referred?

Their is a cliche phrase out there that starts out "When you assume ..." it also involves asses.

If you primary concern is being frugal, why not wait for 6 months after a game is out to buy it on the cheap?

Why ? because I do not agree with your assessment of the average competency of current business men ? I agree with a lot of points you made about what is or isn't good strategies here. I agree about your assessment of long term viabilities of certain strategies. But I do not have faith in the average business…

This entire notion that people in business won't think beyond a few months just doesn't add up.

by itself, $60 is not a huge investment. But doing that over and over and over again is a pretty huge investment that quickly eats into my personal entertainment budget. I would prefer to stretch my dollar farther rather than blow it all on potentially bad purchases.

Maybe devs do care a bit about how many sales they can make in the long term. But investors want quick returns on their investments and if those returns don't come quick enough, then investors lose interest in future ventures. That is why the first three months are given so much more weight than any following months.

Demos reduce the sales of crap. I am perfectly fine with this

Unfortunately, no current console manufacturer has earned consumer trust in the scheme. I certainly don't trust that they wouldn't take advantage of digital retail monopolies to continue charging the same prices.

I was born and raised in Texas, lived there just shy of 31 years. I moved out.

One can define the losing state in a game as simply "not-winning" but they are not exactly one and the same thing.
