Games as a Service (Off-Topic)

You post seems to imply that corporations try to snake money form people in a some sort of scheme, when that is not the case.

It totally is, though.

Yes, corporations have to provide a product that customers buy at a sustainable rate, but they will cut that product down to its absolute thinnest bare-bones value to snake as much money out of their customers as they possibly can. Coca-Cola uses HFCS in their sodas when they didn't always do this. Why? To reduce the costs of production, even though consumers have demonstrated that they prefer cane or beet sugar over HFCS. People are just willing to let the companies do this to them, and so over time the quality of the products worsens.

Full disclosure: I have a significant anti-corporate bias. I love capitalism, but I hate corporatism. I voted for Ron Paul.
