Hey, there is a reason TI will not listen to us: no matter what they do,
people will still make games for the calculators, one way or the other.
Remeber that TI wants the image that these are graphing calculators used
for math and such, not for games. What would teachers say if TI had
actually helped out the gaming community.
As it stands, TI doesn't give a damn -- games will always be made. We are
too forgiving of them, and what sucks more is that we cannot just stop
programming games, since that would get too many other people mad. And if
we continue to program regardless of their actions, they will continue to
screw the games programmers.
So that is the paradox we must deal with. I leave it to you to decide what
to do.
