No it's making a choice. Faster decompress times. Considering a lot of their customers have fast speeds it doesn't really matter.
Bingo. And this means they're effectively choosing who their games are for. And then complaining the ones they didn't choose decided to pirate it.

Edit: I mean priced well on launch, btw, not on sale
