While this is true, don't forget that having to wait for a server to open up ontop of always on DRM wasn't known to the public before it's release. So I feel they have a right to complain about that.
Also he skipped this really popular question
"The world spent $1735 billion on war in 2012, it would take $135 billion to totally eradicate poverty. NASAs budget is around half a penny of an individual persons tax dollar Why do we spend so much in war and so little in education and exploration?"

I'm afraid that I own a patent on all litigation, ever. Fortunatly my licensing fee for the right to sue is a mere $40k per law suit, as well as $10k per working hour by all lawyers under your hire. And let's of course not forget the licencing fee for my patent on procedures and methods for commencing and holding court proceedings, that will require a small number of payments equal to $1million per day(s) of hearings.
$250,000 isn't even all that much compared to some domain sales I've seen. A relative of mine that works at a small credit union sold a url they owned but no longer used to a bigger credit union that wanted it for some campaign for one million dollars.
Video games are a menace to society! Children everywhere are attempting to build giant structures in the middle of town out of piles of dirt and rocks. Some going as far as trying to dig for diamonds in their back yard! Why just this morning I had a kid try and steal the bricks off my house with a crude pickax.
So I think most of us can agree that the mentality of Publishers > Universities is "pay us moar!" and the mentality of Universities > Students is "pay us moar!"
