Cash cattle? As I recall XIV operated at a loss for at least a year so they could provide you with a better service. They then gave you a discounted sub for legacy membership. Its unkind to bite the hand that feeds you. SE went above and beyond what any company would do in a similar situation. Try to be grateful.

EDIT: Oh yeah! You didn't even have to buy a box!
