I did not forget the point - and I disagree that Apple is "just trying to get people to spend more money" as the only, or even primary, driving factor. It's a historical trend you can trace back to the late 60s (pre-dating Apple completely).

It's the inevtiable intersection of Moore's Law and Software Development. 3 Years is the average life that you have with any given piece of hardware. It's possible an app like Dragonvale won't need to take advantage of any advances in either arena to continue to be played, but this is one app, and frankly the industry as a whole will move forward whether Dragonvale needs to or not.
