[QUOTE="Gardens & Goblins, post: 7275091, member: 6846794"] Some folks like to say, ''Well, its my money, I can spend it where I like, it doesn't effect you!'' ..and ya know? They're.. wrong. It does effect other folks. Spending money on a product is an endorsment of that product - a vote for that product, if you will, to be. Say WoC runs the numbers - they reckon they can charge a chunk of change for their product, because % of the populace will cough up said change. The folks that aren't part of that %? They're going to, if they really want to, find other ways of acquiring that product. We can dress it up as we wish but it all boils down to a power struggle, a fight/war over resources. WoC are free to enforce their control of their assets as they wish. And folks are free to acquire WoC assets likewise, until they can't. ...but hey, this isn't news. It's been going on since Ugg the Caveman threatened to beat to death anyone who dared hum the catchy tune he created whilst sitting by the fire. All very interesting! :D [/QUOTE]
