Any time I've seen a gaming company be anything less than grateful for receiving feedback and humble about their achievements, it usually starts trending downhill fairly soon after. A lot of it comes down to pride, the belief that you know what's best of players, and a sense that the competition is inferior. I hope that they can stay grounded and remember their roots. They don't have to keep apologizing for 1.0, but if it helps them remember, perhaps it's not a bad ritual.
