For me graphics are not a selling point. I would rather play a low quality game that keeps me entertained for weeks than a high res, good looking game that I'm bored of in an hour, especially when I have to shell out the $$. I think the answer to your question really comes from the marketing. High quality graphics is something that is very easy to sell on, it has an immediate "wow-factor" (to quote the Billy Mays). You can show a 20 second clip of a high res game and very clearly get your message across. However it is much harder to show how enjoyable a low res game is in a commercial setting. (At least that's my take on it).

It seems likely to me that our enemies have teamed up with aliens to defeat us. The military must being trying to hide it for our own good.

Generic was probably a poor choice of words. What I meant by generic is it is a not a name that they made up, it is part of the English language and in the dictionary.

I recently took a college class that discussed various issues of software patents and software trademarks. Based on what I learned in my class it seems really unlikely that "Android Data" will win the lawsuit. Not only does Google have virtually unlimited resources, but the term "Android" is a generic one. It is important to note that when trademarking software a trademark is applied to a type of product. What I mean by that is Ford Motors has a trade mark on the term "Mercury" for their car. However this does not prevent the Rhode Island newspaper from using the name. (Someone please feel free to electorate on what I have said :) )

I'm still extremely disappointed about the lack of a Linux client, which was promised to be available on release day. Please please please, Linux client.
