Remember when the world was up in arms over $2.50 for a horse armor skin in oblivion? I personally don't care that much about this mount, but I find the debate peculiar every time it comes up.

I get that SE's ultimate goal is to make money, sure. But as a consumer, it's sensible that your goal should be to make your dollar go as far as possible. What exactly does anyone actually get out of submissing to a multi-billion dollar mega corporation on the internet? Do you think YoshiP is going to walk through your door and personally thank you for your efforts or something? You're pretty much arguing against your own self interests, unless you're into findom I guess.
