Very informative article, definitely worth the time reading through it.

Did I get this right, she is pissed because they closed her account after she claimed too many refunds?

Giving you a new movement ability or skill later on, so you backtrack to reach new areas from previously visited areas, well... yeah, that is indeed basically the core mechanic of Metroid, and the author even mentions Metroid as a comparison. Yet I fail to see what the difference is here when compared to other…

“purchase good QoS from your ISP” - This is why network neturality is so important and Ajit Pai is such a horrible person.

Well, the 250ms input lag of your TV is actually an awful lot.
