So just because technology increases, the world is forced to adapt? That's a retarded reason.

Yes, technology increases. However, the only time it is necessary is when the product itself is changed. Changing one's perception of the product (HD or surround sound) is not a direct change, and therefore not essential at all. They are just shiny coats to attract attention. They are just gimmicks!

There doesn't have to be a downside to it, it just has to be a useless feature that merely attracts attention while not improving the actual product. Does HD make a shitty movie good? I don't think so. They are just gimmicks. They are useless. They don't essentially improve the product. People who whine about not having them are spoiled.

The whole "bar being raised" is just the generic excuse for a spoiled citizen. "This new rhythm game doesn't export? Well other games do, so therefore it is a bad game. This car doesn't have heated seats? Well other cars do, so therefore it is a bad car. This new system doesn't have HDMI? Well other systems do, so therefore it is a bad system." It is the perfect example of one being spoiled. You are the fat kid sitting at the table demanding that everyone bring you the proper foods the way you want them. And a norm in an entirely spoiled nation is just as pathetic as the individuals residing in it.

I disagree with pretty much everything you have to say on this subject so I'm just going to go on my way. The fact that you think exporting songs is the worst thing Harmonix ever did is incredibly backward to me and if that the sort of foundation you're working off of I'm never going to see things your way, not even a little bit.

It is the worst thing they ever did. It was an incredibly convenient idea, but it really spoiled their consumers. Now you have a shitload of people bitching about not exporting Beatles: Rock Band, and people threatening to not buy entire GH games. Why? Because they can't conveniently export songs and save time swapping discs. People are now too lazy to spend 30 seconds swapping a disc and it is ridiculous! I agree it is convenient, and I agree that it sounds like a good idea. But there is one major flaw, YOUR CONSUMERS ARE IMMATURE! Give them an inch, they take a foot. You hand deliver them one meal, and now they demand you to hand deliver them every other meal. People fucking suck.

Well, obviously you have nothing new to say and I have nothing new to say. So... yeah.

I'm closing this topic and making a new one in the music game forum. It was only meant to be an announcement topic and has overextended itself.
