Games Based on Licenses Don't Sell

This is but one man's analysis based on information found in Wikis, but he bluntly says that game publishers that use licenses are retards!. His nifty pie charts seem to bear this out.

Talking iPods

Around 2000 or 2001 I bought my first MP3 player, and it was while trying to use it at night while driving that I came up with the obvious idea that each button should SAY what it is, rather than make me fumble and HOPE I'm clicking the right thing. I really thought it was a no-brainer considering the device is already built for playing back recordings. Only a tiny fraction of the memory would have been required for a few compressed word recordings like "stop", "play", "select [option]", etc...

I really thought this was a no-brainer that manufacturers would eventually come up with. I really didn't think it would take 5 years though! At least Apple has taken the same idea and run with it, including full song title text-to-speech.
