Hey, I didn't say I was going to stop using the cart or something, I just wish my money had gone to people who were not dickish IP thieves. The M3izero was the best card at the moment according to my research, so that is what I bought.
I shop at walmart too... it would be nice if that money was not going to an evil exploitive megacorp, but hey what ya gonna do the have the best prices.
I may have an idealist streak, but I don't let it step on my capitalist pocketbook.
Now, if the supercard DStwo ends up being the equal of the zero, or other comeptition comes along...
In the future, armed with this bit of drama, and the rudolph story; given the option between an M3 product and an equal product from someone else I'm likely to give my money to the less dickish of the two.
Business ethics has a place, not to bring in customers, but to avoid chasing away those on the fence.
