probably true
But that is their Right to not care about the helmet and boot and shovel. Why is it
not NGC's Right to care about their own designs? They need to change what they do to protect their business, to cater to flight sim users? Is that reasonable?
Think about that a moment.
NGC is a real company that employs real people and has an actual responsibility to it's shareholders and employees. If they please to protect themselves by acting within their
guaranteed by law rights, then what right do you have to say they should not do so?
These same ideas protect me, by the way, if ever I should have a desirable design. I will have certain rights and be protected by certain laws. If I perceive a threat to what I own, why should I not use those laws to protect myself if I see the need?
What we see is "sim being punished by jerks who are worried about things that don't matter and shouldn't be theirs to control". That's what we want to see, and that's what the mob mentality has decided is going on
