What are the criticisms being leveled at online games and jukes?

A friend of RePlay's recently pointed out the considerable resistance to fees for downloading jukeboxes and online games among operators. What is the objection rooted in, considering that the servers for these machines have resulted in greater functionality and therefore generally increased revenues? If fees are part of the way manufacturers maintain their networks and the way content providers receive their due share, where does the resistance lie? Is it part of the general feeling of being nickeled and dimed by too many fees already or something more specific?

Expo 2006: Was it as good for you as it was for me?

We know you were at the AMOA and Fun Expos. RePlay saw you there, roaming the aisles, inspecting product, talking shop.

So give us your impression of the shows, and don't hold anything back, least of all your honest opinion. From the looks of the product and tones of conversations, where does the industry stand today? What do we have to look forward to? Why?

Bryan Dodge: inspirational or unhinged? The souvenir show: a bigger drag for you or for them?

Let fellow readers, showgoers, blog posters and AMOA honchos know your exact impression. All those inquiring minds want to know, fellas. So spill it.
