(b) That's kind of my point. There isn't a single company (including Capcom) that *never* listens to consumers. His point was valid, just stated way too generally.

;)

Ah, I was waiting for an apologist to show up...

"Finally, a company that listens to people."

The problem is that Apple's product is already built on so many pre-existing concepts and ideas, that the entire notion of believing that another company "stole their entire product" is nonsense right out the gate.

Now, now. Let's not be hasty. They also make sure that Club Nintendo gets crappy rewards.

I remember that Punch Out code like it was once my phone number.

Yes. Yes it was.

I know — and you can't trust the reviews, because they all lied last time around. I'm hoping it shows up on RedBox.

You're not alone at all. SotC is an awesome idea, and I do like the game, but it has never deserved all the high praise it garnered. At the very least, every review should have made mention of the awful controls, and almost none of them did. Once in a while, a reviewer would toss out something like "occasionally…
