I'm working class. I have ambition and goals and plans of self-betterment. However, my gaming time is rarely considered money to me. Gamers do not consider time to be money, they consider it to be fun. The phrase "time is money" itself is a business phrase, which was my point.
I am poor. I paid my own way through college and deal with constant debt and lower class issues that most unsupported american college graduates go through. I don't consider poor people to be stupid, nor have I ever suggested it. I would be insulting myself, and most of my friends. I do consider misleading advertising to be unethical, though - whether it's here, or anywhere.
Work equals money. Time spent playing a game is not the same as time spent working, however, and should not be looked at as the same. To say that calling misleading advertising unethical means that I look down on "poor" people(myself, for instance), is rather backwards. The most offensive things going on in this thread are people defending unethical advertising, and posting ignorant flame messages.
