I hate doing this, but I have to ask- what did I do to get downvoted? This post is a factual correction of his false dichotomy, and even if I show some of my ideology (i.e., that free indie games have actually done a lot more for ludology than AAA studios), is that really such an offensive notion that it deserves an unexplained downvote? Do people deserve to get paid for their work even if they don't want to get paid, and to the detriment of potential players that don't pay in the land of mandatory recompense? I'm just trying to figure out where I fell afoul, because I'm drawing blanks. Most people on HN seem happy to let newspapers die because old business models don't deserve to be propped up and live forever. However, some newspapers actually provide some otherwise difficult to obtain services like entrenched journalism. The absence of AAA studios in this hypothetical piracy death situation is not going to lead to any similar dearth of original games. Or did you really like Big Rig Racing? Sigh.
