I made no statement over whether any of this was right or wrong. I simply stated what was happening and what I thought was likely to happen.

I don't think voting with your dollar is going to be effective. Microsoft lost millions on XBOX to get it into it's current position. I am sure they are willing to lose money in the short term to make more money long term.

I am fine with the exterior but the internal barbs is kinda dumb...

I would counter that in this case they were not arguably "juvenile" except in the legal sense.

I have no idea what character this is but I like the result.

That said, if anyone DID deserve it...it would be Theon.
