I agree. It doesn't make much sense. Maybe it's because they want to feel like they have control over something even if it damages them too.
I agree with OBese to an extent. However, I'm not going to tell anyone here not to do that. Most people here already have their morals and such worked out (from what I can gather anyway), and I doubt very much anyone would change their point of view.
That said, I don't consider it trolling to state your point of view, as long as it's done respectfully.
For what it's worth, I gave what I could afford, but not more than what I felt those games were worth. I played with the sliders so that the games I felt deserved more got more. (Same with charities and humble bundle.) Many of the games didn't run well for me though.
e.g., for me switching Torchlight to windowed mode causes the window to completely disappear, even though sound is playing and the process appears to be running. Vessel ran so slowly that I had to exit the process via task manager. Rochard ran too slowly for it to be any fun. (There's about a five second delay between pressing the space bar and the character actually jumping...) My system exceeds the minimum specs for those games too. For comparison, Alien Arena runs perfectly on my system at a decent frame rate, though Minecraft/Technic runs a bit slower than that. (I'll blame Java.)
Rochard also didn't have any graphics settings for turning down the quality in favor of performance, which was annoying.
The games that did run weren't really the types that I like to play... Shatter is more of a game my sister might like. And S.P.A.Z. is just not my type of game. (Though I played it the most thanks to it actually running well, lol!)
IMO, all of those games should've been able to run just fine on this laptop, even if at a lower quality level.
