Tell me how you change a flip phone into a smart phone with over the air updates, please.

Also it wasn't me who made the original argument.

    You are missing the point or that is a strawman. The argument ist that it is stupid not to learn from others.

    To use your example: It is stupid to not release a smartphone in the first place.

    I was just pointing out that it wasn't a good comparison because you can't change the physical limitations of an object over the air, while a software can be updated from being barebone to being full of features overnight. Just look at Steam on release vs today. Sure EGS could/should have included more features on release, but these things can be added and once it included the basic functionalities to allow people to purchase, install and launch games it was a gamble between leaving money on the table by pushing the release back and losing customers that would be angry enough not to come back because of what was to be added at a later date.
