You know it just occurred to me had they simply asked that 360 Log in to see images! for the unlimited inbox space that would have made sense. Like, “Hey guys, this is clogging up the server; if you want an unlimited inbox give us 30 bucks or delete some stuff — take it or leave it; that’s just how it is”. People would have been fine with that. There have had been no outrage.

Where they ****ed up was trying to nickel and dime it with grease monkey scripts and piddly bum bull**** to sweeten the deal like it was some kind of package. That shifted the focus away from the practical needs of the server (which we could have all understood) to instead, as a result, us scrutinizing it’s value in comparison to the various little mundane improvements they tried to tack on to the deal.
