Because they paid? I don't say it's right, but that's how people are.
I am sorry to be rude here, but I must. You are so naive, if you believe that. Seriously.
Then, let your opinion to ruin your program. I will pay, but I want to be sure the program I paid for will stay updated and will not be abandoned, like it happened to so many freeware which suddenly got to pay path. No$GBA is just one example.
You want a source? Well, I thought I don't need to provide a source of stupid lawsuites, but if you really need one, what about woman who burned her tongue with coffee in McDonald's, sued them and, surprisingly, won? Just one example of many similarly stupid lawsuits.
You would be surprised haw many lawyers out there would jump for such stupid lawsuit. They don't care, they will get their money if they'll win or lose. And judges are pretty much the same. They will sentence you before you (or your lawyer) will say "Your Honor, this lawsuit is ridiculous.
Yeah, just like they put so many exclamation and question marks on the end of their sentences, because one is not enough to make their point :rolleyes:
