Any intelligent businessman is going to tell you that insulting a serial customer is the stupidest thing you can do as a business, and that's exactly what they're doing here. Its a regular symptom of the industry, where companies will ignore and belittle people they know have bought their previous releases in hopes of luring in untested buyers, not caring that when they deliver a substandard product and burn their old customer base in the process, they hurt themselves in the long run.

And no, pandering only gets you sales when its what the customer wants. If its an unasked for addition that diverts resources from the main draw while simultaneously appealing to noone, then it does nothing for sales.

Also, stop trying to pretend that you automatically know more about economics and business practices and integrity than other people, because you're just making yourself look like a shitgrinning morlock with the business sense of a lemming.

You're a law student, you should know better.

You're right, that was just being a dick!

Have a couple days off to figure out how to not do that anymore.
