Magnet, I appreciate your sentiment on this, and I'm very sorry that we weren't able to find a way to get the OOTPB 2007 owners absolutely every fix for free.
However, rather than discussing this any further, I'd just like to state that we did explore every option that we considered feasible to minimize the impact on OOTPB 2007 owners. Ultimately, this is the route that we were able to implement, and we certainly hope it doesn't cause us to lose customers.
I certainly would prefer that this thread not turn into a lengthy argument between parties who don't have the whole story, and unfortunately I don't feel comfortable disclosing much more of our internal business decisions to the public.
Anyway, I'm not sure if that helped at all, but there you are.
Thanks very much,
Steve
