Leah gets a lot of attention for the one obvious reason that doesn't need to be restated. That is why these articles are posted.

Pownce was probably her peak.

There are so many developers and designers that are switching around every day and we barely hear about it aside from the big league players. The fact that Ms. Culver gets her own slice of attention for doing almost nothing of noteworthiness starts to wear on my patience is all.
This is going to happen with big announcements. Just suck it up and deal.
I pirate because I would never be afford all the things I want or use.
I'm not saying I wouldn't pay someday when I have money, but the $ to content ratio is too high. It is not stealing a product, but a service. I'm stealing an experience created by a company (video games) or a sound created by musicians and not paying the entrance fee.
There is another side to the issue that he completely ignores.
