Analysis on report linked below:
A report at Ars Technica says that digital and recording companies would sell more music and games by removing anti-piracy controls and gimmicks like forcing immediate upgrades by releasing half finished product.
Ars T uses Spore as a prime example though I could name a few more in games and have serious issues (along with much of the music industry).
I have bought few games on the last ten years and even less music even though I never pirate.
The reason I don't buy much music is the high cost of weeding through the mountains of garbage.
At $13-$19 for a CD and the only other source of new music coming from juvenilev radio stations why bother?
(Please Don't dismiss what I'm saying just because you're younger than I am.)
The fact that on-air music stations are focusing on music that is up to 60 years old or mostly crap proves my point that I agree with Ars Technica.
And games and commercials APs follow the same path.
BTW the fact that I'm writing this on a mobile device with the free software input and supported via subscription to my cell service does not mean I approve of it.
My words do not substitute for absolute approval of AT's report as linked below though I agree with much of it.
