: It came off right to you. Let me get this straight. They take something out

I read this, and I can't reconcile the total assholish sentiment you've written here with the person I've met. You're better than this.

They removed something you liked, and they didn't really explain why they did it. That's fact.

You (and many other people) complained that it had been removed, and that they hadn't adequately EXPLAINED why it had been removed. That's fact.

They go to the trouble of putting it back - and your attitude is "fuck 'em, they shouldn't have removed it in the first place."

That's the sentiment of a grade-one asshole.

Yeah, I get that you think it's too little, too late, and that the game still isn't fun for you. Those are completely different issues, though, from the decent way to respond when someone tries to do something you asked them to do.

: I hate to say this, because I definitely don't always agree with it when he

: gaming stockholm syndrome? C'mon Vagueness, quit acting like 343 just did
: you and everyone else a big favor.

They allocated resources to fix whatever was broken enough to keep the X's from going in at launch - BECAUSE FANS ASKED THEM TO. Yes, that deserves thanks. Being polite when someone does something specifically at your request isn't 'Stockholm Syndrome', it's manners. Your momma raised you better than that. :(
