[QUOTE="Scribble, post: 4937770, member: 23977"] There's a pretty interesting article in last month's Wired magazine that shows how technology doesn't have to be "The Best" in order to win the market. A whole lot of people don't want the product that is the "highest quality" or the "most features." If it allows them to do the main "thing" they want to do, and it's cheaper/easier to use? Then it's "Good Enough." And for these people, going further then good enough, and sacrificing ease of use for "higher quality" means they no longer want to be a part of your product. Not everyone wants a camera they can adjust f stops and speed settings, while adding new lenses and manually adjusting focus... They just want a camera that they can point at their friends, snap a picture then quickly upload it to Facebook. Start adding new "quality" features, and these people back away if it takes them more effort to update their Facebook. Same for computer vrs tabletop. Not everyone wants to be able to do "anything" in the game if it means more work on their end. They just want to sit down, and be a "Nightelf Mohawk" for a little while. [/QUOTE]
