You missed the point entirely. It's a closed system, the developers didn't make the game so that the owners could dig in and do the work to modify the game to our liking. Frankly, it's completely monopolistic and I'm glad the automobile wasn't developed in our era or we'd ALL be driving bone stock vehicles. Personally, I think defending this particular business model is sycophantic. I'm certainly not going to get up in arms defending big business, which has run this economy into the ground.
Now, this is entirely O/T for this thread, but if one ideological point of view is acceptable to be offered, then it's important for the sake of balance that a countervailing position is offered up.
I'm definitely not looking to change your mind and I'm certainly not looking for you to try and change mine.
I'd say we both let our positions known and am willing to leave it at that.
