Sure that's pure business logic. I want nothing to do with it and reject their attempt to boost sales by hiding a marketing stunt within a empathetic-sounding letter. If that's your speed, do it. Scoop up a key board. I, however, will not be buying their shit.

We're in a fight. There are only allies and enemies.

    An open letter to companies, "What if you didn't pass the entire burden onto your customers?" Oh wait, your profit margins are more important. Go fuck yourselves, I'm not buying your shit.

    It seems like critics are turning more and more inward, and what they appreciate is increasingly esoteric. So the stuff they like is less accessible to the unwashed masses like myself because if you're not staying up to date on the latest and greatest trends in the medium, it doesn't make sense why they rate something so highly.

    The trick is to never look away. Stare till they notice, then keep staring. Have to get up to use the restroom? Maintain eye contact as long as possible and reestablish it the moment you're back in sight. If they get up, the responsibility to maintain that eye contact is on you. Make sure to stay within eyesight, following them if necessary. This is your chance, we're rooting for you!
