<p>News consumption impacts political decision making, like who I want to support or oppose in local, state, and national elections.<p>That seems a pretty high impact decision we want all the members of our society to be making on a regular basis.</p>

<p>There are bunch of tabletop wargames, but Warhammer has the network effect going for it.<p>If you want to go the local hobby store and play a game, most other people are playing Warhammer, that’s what you play too.<p>You might prefer Bolt Action, but if nobody else in town has a Bolt Action army, it’s an uphill climb.<p>I recently attended a big Wargaming convention.  While all sorts of games were present and being played, 40K has orders of magnitude more people playing it.</p>

<p>I’m not following your line of reasoning, can you clarify?<p>Is the argument that it was MS responsibility to bake something like this in at the OS level?  And if they did it would be more robust?<p>I’m not sure I agree.  MS has already gotten in trouble for monopolistic practices before, so from a legal standpoint, I’m not sure that’s the best course of action.</p>
