I see your point... (Destiny)

I agree with some of what you're saying... it's just not realistic or even worth it in this case - that's my point.

And when will it be realistic or worth it? As I said, it's an industry-wide issue that's going to keep getting worse if nobody ever decides to put their foot down. The entire issue here is that, even though everyone agrees that it's an issue, they also always apply the "in this case" logic, even though in the grand scheme of things it would be tremendously beneficial to the consumer on-average to do something about it at some point in time. Especially since, as I said, an extremely aggressive campaign where people actually worked together (rather than telling each other to not bother voting with their wallet) could reverse policies and cause the consumer to lose nothing from the actions when they ultimately buy the much-better product anyway (at which point it's impossible to see how it wouldn't be worth it).
