Of course the other Gene Tonics don't have tradeoffs, they don't offer unlimited resources. You're still completely avoiding my point that complete inaction within a game is not. A valid. Tradeoff. Ever. Standing still and not doing anything within a game is the polar opposite of fun, and games are supposed to encourage fun, by dint of being, you know, games. Thus, you cannot assume that forcing someone to not do anything in a game can be a valid justification for anything.

And the subject of this discussion right now is whether the "real" Fountain of Youth is properly designed or not -- and even then, we seem to be going back and forth across the exact same bloody point. I made mine about three posts ago about how my version of FoY would be an improvement on the original, it is now up to you to refute it if you can.
