I've learned that its best to negotiate.

Negotiate means you don't demand.

That said, people (corporations are people, too) don't respond well to threats or demands.

Donald Trump, Barack Obama, and Steve Wozniak can make demands, issue threats, and back them up.

Threats, demands, and taunts aren't received well.

They rarely work, so why not endeavor to be NICE?

“Patience is a virtue, but there comes a moment when you must stop being patient and take the day by the throat and shake it. If it fights back; fine. I'd rather end up bloody at the end of the day, than unhurt with no progress made, no knowledge gained. I'd rather have a no, than nothing. I'd forgotten that about myself.”

If a corporation was a person then being "born" in the USA a corporation would be allowed to vote.
Corporations cannot vote.
Therefore, they are not people.

I agree 100% with this statement, but it's very ironic coming from someone that has 8 of the nice shiny new trinkets.

No hate here as it's not like you did anything to get those units, but just wanted to point out the irony.

Cow, ive known some very nice people over the years in many diff form of competition who beat the pants off the other competitors. Has nothing to do with it. Ranger, i believe its been stated that gree will be fixing the issue of the trinkets, and everyone will end up with the correct amount, assuming gree can fix the problem. He actually did do something to get a full set of those trinkets.

You are incorrect sir. Except for voting corporations have all the same rights as an individual. This was decided in an 1886 Supreme Court decision. It was one of the nastiest pieces of legal doctrine every to come down the pike, IMO.

Patience is one of the treasures I have in life... I'm never poorer than when I lose it.

Everything is a stock with a price tag on it, that is why you have your 9 digits social security number, so is your game id. Let's not go crazy over trivial details. Lol

Oh I know. It's completely Gree's fault (to know surprise). I was just pointing out the irony.

Three monks decided to hike to the top of a local mountain and begin meditations to reach enlightenment. After reaching the peak they each sat down and began to meditate in silence. After 5 years the first monk says "Life is complicated". Another five years goes by and the second monk says "yes.. It is". Five more years go by and the third monk says "you guys talk too much".
