And your confusing what I wrote with land use. And Water is a completely different matter.
In any case, nothing of what you posted has anything to do with technology, population or the capacity of production. And everything to do with uncontrolled inflation and devaluation of money.

Re: Who does society more good: content producers or pirates?
yeah, who need a free society anyway. Okay guys, you heard him. Lets take down the Internet. Obviously if out_of_the_blue thinks its bad, then it must be true.

Re: Re: Re: They don't make them like they used to.
I should have made it clear, I don't actually buy games that come with extra DRM on Steam. Sadly that makes most of the major publishers, aside from Valve themselves. So EA, Failsoft, Rockstar Games...and the list is quite large actually.
Then again, Valve makes the best games anyway, so I'm not missing much.

Re: Re: Re: Re:
Sorry sir/madam, but that is incorrect.
For example, did you know that:
"The 5.8 billion people in the world today have, on average, 15 percent more food per person than the global population, of 4 billion people, had 20 years ago?"
also
"The world today produces enough grain to provide 3500 calories per person?"
and
"Food availabilities for the world as a whole are today equivalent to some 2700 kilocalories per person per day, that is up from 2300 calories 30 years ago!"
It is the poverty of millions of people who cannot afford to buy food that causes starvation. Not the lack of production and capacity.

They don't make them like they used to.
The whole DRM crap has led me to only buy games from GOG and Steam.
Good Old Games just plain out rocks. No DRM, and they provide a back catalog to all of the great games they don't sell anywhere these days. Plus, they provide the service of making the games compatible with different operating systems and modern hardware and software.
As for Valve, now Steam itself is drm true, but it adds value to compensate for what it takes away. This way it works much like any service provider; sure, I can get the same product for free, but the service provided outmatches the price.

He can use copyright, doesn't mean he has to support you in the process. Hollywood and copyright aren't mutually exclusive, despite your attempts to present them as such.

Ultimately, the world moves on despite the ones who fail to adapt. From the Telegraph to the telephone to the fax machine. The future takes no prisoners.
Even today we move forward, using the ones who failed to evolve as fuel.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re:
Yep, It seems most developers are going down this route now. I blame Capcom for all this. They were the first to sell huge numbers of DLC's for things like Resident Evil 5, to unlock things that were already in the game. Fallout too.
This is not the original intention of the Downloadable content, or how its supposed to work.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re:
Well technically, if done correctly (not scamming people), DLC are extra content they made after the main release or during the development but didn't make it into the final game do to time constraints or other reasons. (this is new characters, maps, weapons ect.)
Kind of how, if you buy Windows 7 basic, you can upgrade with more content like Home, Pro, or Ultimate for extra payment.

Re: Re: Re:
You can only install the DLC on your current game (it saves it locally), it never burns the DLC back into the disk. So you'll always have to buy the DLC if you want it.

Re: Re: Re: Re:
I haven't gotten that part yet. Did they do this before they released the game new? If it is, then they're way overdoing it with the DLC money grab on this one.
Its just as bad when they leave features in the game, but fake the DLC to pretend you download extras. Or when they make you pay for DLC that fix the game since it was released too early.
