Again, I'm not defending Gaben. If you think I'm a bootlicker, you can lick my ass. As stated, I don't agree that it affects the quality of the product to the extent you're suggesting, and going "well, it does" isn't going to change my opinion.

    You were saying it didn't affect you. Regardless of how much will go directly to shareholders, a good portion will be reinvested and lead to better games, which will affect your enjoyment.

    I never talked about extent, you are the one that took the hard approach by putting the level at 0. When I pointed it out that it can affect quality and not just price, you came back with "well it doesn't".

    I'm pretty sure in this context, saying a 30% increase of funds won't lead to a jump of any kind in either the amount or the quality of products is being willfully blind.

    I guess it might be hard to admit that some of these billionaires are directly stealing from us.

    I maintain that it wouldn't affect me. As for what would be reinvested, you say "a good portion," I say an amount so low that its impact will be immeasurably low.

    You talked about extent in that you're suggesting the improvement in quality would be worth caring about; this is just you being pedantic. Allow me to be pedantic as well: I never retorted "well, it doesn't" because, unlike you, I've made it very clear that I'm giving my opinion rather than speaking in absolutes.

    I can admit that billionaires are getting more than their fair share, never having expressed otherwise here, which is also why I believe the money would largely be going from one well-padded pocket to another.

    We've both expressed our views so I won't be continuing this conversation.
