But it won't necessarily get perceived that way... it would be perceived
that NQC is a tool for advanced users, and that it may offer advantages
that the regular LEGO tools don't. Available for zero financial cost
doesn't necessarily mean equally available to everyone. People who
don't use it may not use it because they don't have the technical
skills, and may not even have the wherewithall to realize that their
lack of technical skills is _why_ they can't use it... they just
perceive NQC as an advanced tool that could potentially offer them some
advantage if they understood how to use it (and they may perceive their
lack of not understanding how to use it as a result of LEGO themselves
not distributing the product).
I'm not saying it's right, I'm just saying how it can be perceived.
Maybe it is bloody unfair, but hey... so's life. Some 300,000 people
drowned just over two months ago after one of the worst natural
disasters in recent history. Really, this is nothing.
