Ok I lied. One more post worth of rant then I'm done because these types of statements are the ones I'm talking about. I'm also going to preface this with everything I say is about these statements and these statements only. I am in no way trying to disparage against Bowtie or Fyre. I don't know Bowtie but Fyre is well known and I know him to be an intelligent and decent guy. I just assume the same about Bowtie.

That said these statements are straight grade A BS and as close to "the dumbest things said" I've heard today. To imply that we, as customers, have any kind of ownership whatsoever over OOTP is ludicrous. We pay for the game as it is designed and if we, for instance, purchase a game before having all the specifics on said game like UI we give up said right to complain. We are big boys (and maybe girls. I don't think I've ever actually seen one here but I'll leave the option open) and responsible for our own financial decisions.

Then there is the matter of acting like Markus is in some dark bunker somewhere wringing his hands together as he devises ways to screw his customers over. That just bothers me. Markus and the team work their tails off to give us as deep and customizable a game as humanly possible and to insinuate he forced something on us rather than making it customizable is damned insulting. If said UI functions could be customizable then they would be. That's just how Markus makes his games if history is any judge.

Ok. Now I'm done. I'm sorry to any friends I may have lost.
