lol, that actually wasn't an allegory, it was an analogy. Your logic is that there is a difference between complaining when you already have everything you want and complaining when you feel you aren't getting your basic needs met. This arguement is flawed, becasuse it is subjective in the first place. You don't NEED an MPC. In fact, you don't NEED anything except food, shelter, love, etc. (maslow's hierarchy). My point is, your arguement doesn't even apply to this situation, because beyond basic needs, wants and needs are subjective.
Subjective in the sense that your MPC works fine as a paperweight, but not if you want reliable pads, OS's etc. Maybe somebody out there feels that they NEED certian functions in order to make their work. Realistically anybody could make a hot beat with a tape recorder, some scotch tape and a pair of scissors if they have the talent. The arrogance that you display is that you think you can set the bar for when a pad, OS, etc. are 'enough'. Its paternalistic, patronizing, and immature.
Besides that, this is a capitolist society. The demand for upgrades, better OS's etc. is what drives the market. If somebody complains and has the cash, people make what the masses want, plain and simple. JJ capitolized on this, so did you. The truth of the matter is I will never, want, need or desire Nym's pads, because I don't beat the shit out of my pads. But there is a market out there for them, so you sell them.
And besides all of this, the irony that a person would make a thread COMPLAINING about how they are sick of COMPLAINTS is absurd in the first place.
so to summarize...
