Gents - this is to let you know these two comments have swayed me to finally decide to bail on Hasbrocron. I was on the fence - despite bad feelings about it - but you have articulated the "ethics issue" I knew was there but couldn't quite put into words. Seeing it put like you have above really brings clarity and focus to the corporate avarice that this Haslab project is just soaking in.
...I, and my wallet, thank you.
