Something that pisses me off...

From Cheapass: "Due to the instant success of our new Microchips, we've decided to add three and a half new colors to the set..."

This cheesed me off, especially since the "instant success" of their Microchips was caused by the fact that One False Step required 100 poker chips each in blue, black, yellow, and green. And, wouldn't you know it, that's exactly what the first Microchip set had. Money-grubbing bastards.

Why? Microchips 2 is a new set; if you want all 7.5 colors, it's only an extra $1 to buy the new ones separately. And if you don't, then why worry about it?

Don't think I've ever heard the term "Money-grubbing bastards" applied to a company that's offering new product because it meets an apparent market demand. You can tell me all day that it's an artificial demand due to 1FS and I'll believe you; but if no one wants the product and they make it anyway that makes them stupid, not money-grubbing.

You're right...I guess I was just angry at them for saying it like it wasn't caused by 1FS.
