How's this sound? I created a Twitter account just for this fiasco. If I get a code, I'll stick around and follow you guys on Twitter. If not, I'll just un-follow you. No big deal.
...And you'll have created just another tiny little bit of ill will among the players. I'm not going to quit or boycott anything, and this'll be the last bellyaching I do over it. Just... every little screw-up like this causes your "stock to go down", as they say, in peoples' eyes. It adds up.
And by the way, I'm one of those who would've been glad to pay good money for this in the Market (Kirby fan since his mid-70s return to Marvel).
