I... but...

Did the system requirements screen at least warn you that you need wholly unrelated 3rd party software for it? Its like if I was trying to load up QuickBooks and it was like "Please insert slice of aged cheddar into drive A: to proceed."

I realize its not a perfect analogy-- lots of people like aged cheddar.
