We're mad as hell about iOS games that cost money, have ads, and/or any IAP at all.

    Plus, anyone with "exceptional critical thinking skills" knows that arrogant insults are strongly not recommended in any persuasion attempt.

    Haha I know very well that grades and such, and where you go to college doesn't determine anything. You work for everything. I'd know that better than anyone. My parents came to the United States dirt poor and like I've said, they're now in the top tax bracket. How do kids these days manage everything? We sleep 4 hours daily, that's how. I added my last comment as a joke haha. Hodapp's a good guy. But yeah, weehoo's personal attacks really hurt his credibility. Otherwise, he knows what he's talking about mostly.

    *******HAHAHA !!! Lets play "MADLIBS" with your current statement here.

    starting at GET OVER IT!>FF3

    Get over it. GOVERNMENT is an amazing SERVICE and the price mirrors the quality. Greedy? I don't think so. If anything, they are asking a little too little for their SERVICE. Everyone has gotten so used to the idea of TAXES being super cheap, yet they want HELPFUL HONEST GOVERNMENT, but don't wanna pay HELPFUL HONEST price. The TAXES are PROFITABLE for ELITES and it's about damn time we start seeing HIGHER TAX prices. You get what you pay for. Do some research before you PAY the TAXES, or wait till you are all 18 and then apply for your own LOAN. Stop bitching is you are using your parent's IGNORANCE to INDOCTRINATE YOURSELF INTO STUPIDITY. Jesus #Fact: It ain't your moneh!

    I'm no conspiracy theorist, but I thought that replacing a few key words might inspire you to re-evaluate the message you were trying to relay. Funny huh.!!!

    Although your statement insinuates malicious sarcasm towards my opinion, this is probably one of the best sentences I've seen on TA. It couldn't have been said more eloquently. +1

    Quite opposite. I liked the way it was written. You can still appreciate the creativity of an adversary, if that's what he believes himself to be.

    No, and try to use clever insults, or stay out of topics that are too complicated for your gene-pool. You are an observer.

    First off I'm not the one complaining about a $14.99 price tag you twit. Maybe your "ivy league" grades aren't enough to understand everyday living.

    Edit: and just because you edited your post doesn't mean I didn't quote it! :p

    BTW: What exactly is my gene-pool, because you've made perfectly clear what yours is.

    I thought 15 was pretty generous since you are now acting 12. You started off making somewhat coherent arguments (even if they weren't exactly something I would say and were by design intended to start a flame war) and when they did not elicit the debates / fights / rebuttals you desired you shrank into calling people names and personal insults and worse yet making anti-American remarks. Dare any of us make any racial insults. So now you are just flaming to flame. An anonymous teen with a keyboard and no parental controls on the computer free to just fling any insult you wish at adults.

    You were more tolerable when you had poorly formed theories and ideas. Now that you have shrunk into yo momma joke zone you just look foolish.


    Add: Oh yeah - and last I heard the forums were open to anyone to make a comment in so who are you to call someone else an observer?

    This thread is going to own when the next high dollar game comes out and we use it for the garbage dump of price whining posts like we did here with the Final Fantasy thread. It kind of begs the question though, will we have these identical arguments with every game release or will people be like "Huh, this was already discussed in this thread, guess I don't need to pull out my 3,000 word diatribe on Marxism and iOS app pricing."

    Doesn't anybody want to comment on my "MADLIBS" comparison found at the bottom of page 17. Social conditioning is directly responsible for the belief's of the opposition. When you alter just a few words and apply it to something a little more complex/important, the significance and true meaning of the message is revealed.

    Try to respect:
    Artists that want to share their art with the world and make a modest living for doing something they love.

    Nikola tesla, for wanting to provide the world with free energy so that mankind would not hinder under the restraints of coorporatism.

    Try to resist:
    Artists who want to increase their earnings by setting market prices in collusion with other major developers, which conditions the customer to accept the terms without alternatives.

    Thomas Edison, who used his business-saavy, dollar-dominated phylosophy to stamp, market and sell.

    Free your mind from the complacency that festers within you. Fight for your right to fair pricing. You don't even realize that they'll lower the price soon once people get over the fact that square Enid duped you for a 20 year old port.
