What kind of flippant, useless comment is that? You dismiss his entire experience as "claptrap" and then sarcastically suggest he go on a killing spree? Get the hell out of here.
It's his standard MO. Like most commenters of this type, he usually gets away with it, too. I'm not sure why he didn't this time, but probably the part about killing as many humans as possible was a bit too much even for the people who normally cheer on comments like this.
Fortunately, you discredited your own sentiment with your harshness and poor sentence construction. In addition, you presented a false argument, implying that somebody with my concerns would see murder as the only answer, perhaps revealing more about your own psyche than you'd like.
>whatever the developers did someone would just crack it so why should anyone pay for games?
Isn't this largely mitigated on iOS with code signing? Unless you jailbreak, which most won't bother with, it doesn't matter if it is cracked, you won't be able to load it.
Why would that be awkward? Your employer gets your expertise in training your replacement and you get enough time to find a new job; this seems rather sensible to me.
>people are lazy and you might be surprised but the fact is that they don't want to do work even for their own requirements.
And they will pay to avoid even the easiest chore. We got tired of not getting any response from people using our free trial and briefly required them to call us to activate their free trial. People started paying for the first month rather than make a phone call and some that paid never even used it. Crazy.
Isn't this the idea of a mail in rebate? That they attract attention and people buy the product but hardly nobody bothers to mail them in? I might be off base on that, but that was my thought as to why they are offered.
From my recollection, the industry stats on mail-in-rebates on (say) hard disks is something like 80% are unclaimed. Cutting a UPC out of the side of a box (and finding a stamp, and copying a tricky address exactly, etc) is a >$15 job for most people...
But for elementary school age me growing up with my poor single mom, when I could string rebates and sales together to build a computer inside $5 case with similar deals on components, it's crazy magic. Thank you lazy people, for making my childhoodd hobby (and the consulting career that has followed) possible.
> they don't want to do work even for their own requirements ...
Of course, and they shouldn't want to. They ought to be focused on providing business value to their clients. And hiring a consultant is a step taken when they're over their heads and need a hand.
