I wouldn't so much call it "the right thing", as it is more of an apology. Just because you say "I'm sorry" for making a mistake, does not erase the fact that you made the mistake in the first place.
It'd be like a murderer turning themselves into the police. It's a good thing to do, the right thing under those circumstances, but it still doesn't excuse the fact that you killed someone.
The ideal "right thing" to do, would be never to have had these problems in the first place. You don't get an award for saying "I'm sorry" when you make a mistake. You are supposed to do it.
And quite frankly, judging by the initial PR responses, we probably wouldn't be getting a resolution to this issue if there wasn't such a large community backlash.
Again, I am still glad they are doing it. Many companies don't even attempt to "make amends" and just ignore the problems all together. But just don't give them too much credit as they will be trying to do the bare minimum possible to quiet everyone down, nothing more.
Aggies
Oh come on, that's a ridiculous metaphor. You're a little off base if you're comparing this to murder.
I was upset about their implementation as anyone, heck I was the second person to post about it after Paddy over at 2K; but they're human, they made a mistake, and they're correcting it. You can't "unkill" someone, but you can patch a bad FOV.
They actually didn't have to do anything. If you didn't like their implementation, you didn't need to buy their game. Those of us who have been complaining about the implementation have been catching some undue flak, but if you're still holding a grudge at this point you really do need to pull the stick out.
