While I agree that Pirates deserve to be squashed, I can hardly agree with you
that I or some other user won't get a password wrong three times in a row -
I've managed it several times, like when I'm tired and my fingers are a little
fumbly, etc.

As to the assertion:

I disagree.  There are several games that push the OS aside, run to their
heart's content, and then exit cleanly to the workbench.  A game that requires
a reboot in order to exit it irks me to no end.
