> If new software requires hardware, why should that be considered "crippled"?
Because I do not own that hardware, so for me uses the software is effectively crippled. I don't care why, only the outcome matters.
I wouldnt even mind not getting new features so much, but this also effectively means that my security updates are tied to new hardware; how is that acceptable?
A bit harsh, no? If new software requires hardware, why should that be considered "crippled"?
I find amazing that my 2013 iPhone5 can play games (Hearthstone) that some 2015/2016 Androids can't.
