I don't have to think about it. I've patiently waited for answers. I'm a paying customer who isn't satisfied with my product. As a business owner and one who deals largely with the public I can't imagine avoiding my good paying customers with the excuse of "I'm not allowed to talk about it". Whether they consider it a failure or not should matter little to anyone who's unhappy with the product they were sold.
I go above and beyond to give my customers an honest response when things don't go according to their plan. I don't get why the video game industry gets a free pass to push out inferior products while expecting us to answer to them. It doesn't work that way anywhere else.
I certainly don't feel as though I ripped anyone. Expecting an honest and frank level of customer service is far from unreasonable.
