   I'm not. I'm just stating the sad fact that acknowledgement of past crimes is mostly done in western democracies. I've never seen, for example, a similar speech by a Turkish, Chinese or Pakistani politician about the crimes c

   Guilt over past crimes is mainly a western thing. There is for example, no such thing in modern Turkey over the extermination of the native peoples of Anatolia which led to the formation of the Turkish state with a uniform religious/et

    The product kept evolving too. (Updates, new features, etc) I think people started to value it more once the price doubled. Most new features were in response to their feedback.
