Why Do Developers/Businesses Initiate Needless Changes

[Ben Legend]

Is it just me, or do developers and businesses enjoy changing things which are perfectly fine.

For example, earphones with one wire longer than the other which goes around your neck, what was wrong with the previous incarnation of having the leads being the same length.

Another example are trousers, which only have a pocket on the back right, and not both sides.

Any examples you can think of?
Were they needless changes, or did someting good/inovative come from it?

pisses me off when they do that shit in games.

like, i had the collectors edition of wrath of the lich king (WoW) which gave me a non combat pet dragon (a small dragon that did absolutely nothing but follow me around).

few patches later: "We have reduced Frosty's size" what? WTF was the point of that, it looked better a tad bigger, and there was just no reason to do so...wtf?


yea i hate it when businesses do that shit.
