[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 103198, member: 134"] Man, you can't say Apple doesn't know what they're doing. They know they've got instant sales from those people that buy anything new Apple puts out. So how do you convince people who are just fine with their older device and how it works to buy new? You change the iOS so that older devices no longer work as well. Eventually people get so fed up, they actually start thinking the device is broken, and then have to buy new! Genius. There used to be planned obsolescence within the circuitry of electronics, but now it's being forced with firmware upgrades. With Apple devices, they hit you with the fact you can't replace the battery (easily), with firmware upgrades, and with peer pressure!! I don't agree that this is FarSight's fault for tables becoming unplayable. It worked on older iOS, it was your choice to upgrade. If it works on the newest device with the newest iOS, then obviously it is a problem with device and iOS being not compatible, not the game. Shoot, I upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 8 and had to replace my printer, scanner, web cam, not because they didn't work anymore, but because there was no driver to let them run. Again, forced obsolescence. Not saying it doesn't suck, just saying the culprit of your ire should lie squarely with Apple. [/QUOTE]
