I really, think that it just comes down to something as simple as 'supply and demand'. I mean, no one's pointing any fingers at Darwin are they?

I personally embrace technology, what is done with it is a something completely different. The developers aren't in it to create art they are in it to move units and they certainly aren't going to retard production/marketing once the wheels are in motion.

The adversity occuring within our industry is absolutely necessary and will require forward thinking individuals to create new paradigms before any change will ever happen. This harkens back to something Frank Zappa once said, 'Progress is not possible without deviation from the norm.'

Remember, it's not computers that kill people.
