I agree with the author's distaste with Apple's pulling of the game. But that's about the only part of the article that I don't find inane.
* "If I'm a scammer for charging $399.99 for a stupid app, Apple is a scammer for charging a starting price of $500 for a sub par netbook" is just bad, empty logic. Ranting about the iPad at all is a pointless tangent.
* "A PHONE IS NOT A GENERIC GAMING PLATFORM. IT WORKS FOR SOME GAMES, BUT NOT EVERYTHING. I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH. JUST BECAUSE SOMETHING HAS THE ABILITY TO RUN GAMES THAT DOESN'T MEAN EVERY GAME SHOULD BE MADE FOR IT." Thank you, sir, but I and other gamers will decide what we think are gaming platforms, no matter how many capital letters you throw at us. Hint: PCs were supposed to be business machines.
It's an unfocused, juvenile hissy fit, which is too bad because it started with a valid grievance.
Im not quite sure what you were watching or reading... but in the video i watched, in the link above, he actually says some games cant be played on a touch screen. He didn't say that it wasn't a gaming platform. Besides, it's just his opinion lol
