Well, in this particular instance, I'm not sure that I would agree, actually.
I do think that it is pretty damned sad that the player of their games languished in their own company forum - a forum that had apparently become devoid, at some point in the past, of any company moderator presence.
That said, I don't think that they were rude, so much as utterly oblivious. It begs the question, of course, how badly has their player base for their company's games deteriorated - the possible exception of Phoenix, aside?
It may well be that the company's personnel have simply become disenchanted and disengaged, over the last several years. I'm not defending it as good business practice. I don't know the specifics of how or why they devolved to that point. And, in all fairness to the folks over at KJC Games, it may be that all - or perhaps the bulk - of their efforts have been shifted over to their Phoenix game. Even still, if they still have players playing in their other games, then those players shouldn't simply be written off or trivialized, which is certainly the way that it looks from the outside looking in, while browsing their forum.
All of that said and conceded, though, I still think that it probably made Dave No Mates At All's day, once Mica did respond in that very same forum where Dave had been languishing all that time.
