Indeed... SEGA is comparably smaller than either of the two others. They can't afford to alienate themselves. They need the loyal fanbase, at least for now.

And yes that ramble at the com was ugly. But on both sides. I resigned my moderator position because of that. I simply had a hard time doing a job I didn't feel much for. At the same time I felt it was unfair to the others as it left them to deal with the alien invaders spamming and causing mayhem.
We recognized them, and it boiled down to around 10 people in all... TEN people, no more. The rest were being nice.

Wow... huh? Do you think CA would ever change their ways because of 10 people? And those 10 people ruined it for the rest to complain in a rational manner. Wohoo! Great job!
