Not always, There are some game where leveling up does not significantly add to your party fighting ability, collecting, buying and timing are the way to go then. It's a way to replace the level up grind by another kind of levelup but it as a tendency of making the game more complex and it does tend to push you to your friendly strategy guide. And then you have the all the monster level at the same time as you aka FF8, Oblivion so leveling is useless in this system as well.

Microsoft Vs. TestDriven.NET 418

Erebus writes "Jamie Cansdale released a free addin to Visual Studio back in 2004 to help developers build unit tests. His only problem was, he enable his addin for all versions of VS - including the Express addition which isn't suppose to support addins. After over a year of trying to talk with Microsoft and understand how and why he was in violation of their license agreement, during which they would never explain specifically which clause in the license was being violated, they sent the lawyers after him and pulled his MVP status. To top it all off, Jamie is actually a Java developer by day — his addin was originally developed just as a hobby project. A full account is available on his blog, including all email correspondence he had with Microsoft and the now 3 letters received from Microsoft lawyers. The lead product manager for Visual Studio Express has responded to Jamie's posts."
