I take your point, and I agree with you about the backlash, but comparing poor widescreen support with, well, murder is, in my humble opinion, just a bit much.
Heh, I definitely did not mean to equate the act with murder :shock:, but rather to simply use it as an analogy. Ie. Just because you say sorry and "Make up" does not completely erase the previous wrong.
It would have probably been better to go with "theft" instead, and then being forced to make repairations (pay damages) etc. If I steal your car, but then bring it back the next day and apologize, yes I've "done the right thing", but it certainly doesn't make what I did ok.
The only point I was trying to make is that, while yes they are taking steps to correct the problem, it doesn't erase the fact that they caused it in the first place, and it took all this commotion to get them to step up and "do the right thing".
I just always take a bit of issue for companies being "applauded" for making amends for their mistakes. Yes we should encourage that, but it's always better to not make the mistakes in the first place.
